The Master II

More about the book

In the summer of 2005, a small booklet featuring Juergen Teller’s work was published, offering a unique glimpse into his world as a photographer, blending fashion, commissioned pieces, self-portraits, family photos, and scenes from his Bavarian home. The booklet began with portraits of his heroes, photographers William Eggleston and Nobuyoshi Araki. After quickly selling out, a second edition will be released alongside a new volume, marking the start of a series that will ultimately include a slip-cased collection of ten or more booklets. The new volume features Teller's recent project, ‘Ukraine,’ which uses Kiev as a backdrop for a fashion shoot, intertwining fashion, city still-lives, and portraits of everyday people to portray his vision of a country infused with youthful energy and a fascination with capitalism. Born in Erlangen, Germany in 1964, Teller studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich. His work has appeared in notable publications such as W Magazine, iD, and Purple, and he has held solo exhibitions at prestigious venues like the Photographer’s Gallery in London and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris. Teller has also produced several monographs with Steidl, including works focusing on Marc Jacobs and Zimmerman.
