The photographs in Son of Bob present a raw and candid portrait style, capturing a particular moment in contemporary culture with directness and intensity. Terry Richardson employs stark, minimalistic visuals that foreground the subjects, often stripped of elaborate context or background distractions.

The work embraces an unapologetic approach to portraiture, focusing on the immediate and often provocative presence of the individuals photographed. The mood leans toward confrontational intimacy, with images that invite viewers into an unfiltered space of personal expression.

Published in Japan by リトル・モア in 2000, the photobook spans 95 pages, offering a compact but impactful survey of Richardson’s early photographic voice.
