Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson has taken to his official Tumblr page this afternoon (November 13) to unveil a series of pictures of pop sensation Lady Gaga. 

The pair have worked together in the past and these new images (seen below) show the 'Applause' superstar flying in her Volantis dress, sitting in her dressing room, waiting patiently to rehearse without her usual wig and make-up, and standing next to artist Jeff Koons' sculpture of her for the 'ARTPOP' cover project. 

Richardson recently worked on a photoshoot with Madonna and took a series of risqué pictures of 'We Can't Stop' beauty Miley Cyrus, whose music video for 'Wrecking Ball' he also directed. 

Gaga, meanwhile, is set to host 'Saturday Night Live' this coming weekend (November 16) and she will also perform on the show. A teaser trailer for her double duty slot premiered earlier this afternoon. 

'ARTPOP' is available now and shot straight in at No.1 on the UK TOP 40 albums chart earlier today, beating the likes of Celine Dion, Little Mix, and Eminem to the top spot. It has also sold a staggering 47,000 copies in its first few days of release in the UK.
