Terry Richardson has reportedly been banned from working with Vogue magazine, as well as other major publications.
The 52-year-old is a famously controversial photographer, as his shoots are notoriously explicit.
The fashion photographer has worked with number of high-profile celebrities over the years, including Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Miley Cyrus, Kylie Jenner, Beyoncé, and many more.
However, the Daily Telegraph have reported that an email circulated within Condé Nast International on Monday announced that the company would no longer work with him.
Staff were informed that any work already commissioned from Terry Richardson but not yet published should be “killed or substituted with other material”.
The company publishes international editions of major magazines, including Vogue, GQ, Glamour, Vanity Fair and Wired.
The email was reportedly sent by Condé Nast’s executive vice president and chief operating officer James Woolhouse.
“Please could you confirm that this policy will be actioned in your market effective immediately. Thank you for your support in this matter,” he wrote.
The reason for the ban is yet to be confirmed, but The Telegraph have reported that it could have something to do with a a Sunday Times article, which questioned why Terry was still being “feted by fashionistas” in wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
The photographer’s contract arrangements had been in dispute for some time with Condé Nast International, however, within 24 hours of the article being published – that email was sent out to all staff.
Throughout his career, a number of models have accused Terry of sexual harassment and exploitation, but he has always denied any wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, Terry issued a statement to the Huffington Post on Friday, in response to the claims.
“I collaborated with consenting adult women who were fully aware of the nature of the work, and as is typical with any project, everyone signed release. I have never used an offer of work or a threat of rebuke to coerce someone into something that they did not want to do,” he said.
