The Terry Richardson-Aldo Fall/Winter 2011 commercial features the world's most famous photographer shooting something out of his traditional element. Most of Terry Richardson's shoots are heavy on the sex appeal, eschewing most of the conventions associated with high-fashion shoots for something a little more ethereal and gritty, but this is the exact opposite.
The fun-filled ad features two models (one being Matthew Gray Gubler of "500 Days of Summer" and "Criminal Minds" fame) showing engaging in a variety of activities while showing off the latest in Aldo formal shoes and casual wear.
The theme behind the Terry Richardson-Aldo ad is 'Get Lucky.' Do yourself a favor and heed their advice -- view the video to see Terry Richardson's director hand at work.
