Lady Gaga promises her new book of portraits will show you everything – including photos of her showering

Lady Gaga's new book of portraits promises to show the star in a light that you haven't seen her before

We all know that Lady Gaga isn’t exactly shy and retiring but her new book of black-and-white portraits, shot by infamous fashion photographer Terry Richardson, will show her fans everything from her brushing her teeth to showering and weeing into cups. Blimey.

Gaga, the loveable eccentric, spoke about the ten-month period she spent with Richardson whilst shooting portraits from the book. “Terry was with me for [almost] a whole year, and, gosh, I didn’t hold anything back from Terry … he was with me every minute, every moment. It’s completely unfiltered. He has photographs of me waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, in the bathroom, in the bathtub, the shower. And the thing about Terry, if you know anything about his photography, is that nothing is staged; I mean, that’s sort of what he is renowned for. He can get you to do things and he can capture things that no one can ever capture.”

Richardson is probably the best choice to photograph her doing stuff like this, as he has a reputation for getting his stars to completely lose their inhibitions in photoshoot – often highly sexualised and explicit, his work has come under fire from critics before. We have to say that we’re intrigued to see these photos..
