In an exclusive new video, Lady Gaga sits down to flip through her photo book, Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson, and reads aloud the special introduction that she wrote about the experience.
"Sometimes it seems as though I've waited my entire life to be photographed by Terry Richardson," she begins.
"With Terry, the relationship extends beyond the photograph, and if you're lucky, he will teach you something truly profound about yourself…"
Shot over the course of a year, the book features all-access, behind-the-scenes photographs of everything from the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal rally in Portland, Maine.
The book, as well as Born This Way: The Collection, Born This Way: The Remix, and The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden concert DVD are available now.
