From back stage to bedroom Terry Richards creates a sometimes astonishing look into what the day to day Gaga is doing when offstage. He's on the bus with her, following her everywhere, photographing Gaga's quick costume changes during the show, or capturing her fraternizing with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Liza Minnelli, or her own family, or asleep at 3 a.m. in the morning. This may answer the question, "what does one sleep in after wearing raw meat to a prestigious awards gala?" Frenzied fans, discarded costumes and shoes also become the subject of this photographers detailed no holds barred look into what the Mother Monster was up to during the 2010 Monster Ball Tour. This is a close up and very personal look at Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Lady Gaga, the performance artist, singer-songwriter, record producer and dancer who is regularly placed on lists composed by Forbes magazine and has been named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine. This is not your Mother's tour picture book; it is big, sometimes in your face, sometimes soft, always revealing and sure to become a favourite of her fans. "Paws Up."
