Juergen Teller - Photographer

[Estella*]

do you like these, mullet?
that's the point where i only see he's making fun of the industry (he's part of)...stiff mannequins and funky light, strange poses....one recipe...

 

[MulletProof]

i dont know..i like the lighting and the whole theme, i think it's very him..but i also think some pics look a bit..vulgar?.

 

[Estella*]

yes, very vulgar but i guess that's what he has escaped to...from vulnerabilty to vulgarity. but the light is good

 

[cerfas]

Thanks mullet. It's almost hard to look at all those in a row.

[Estella*]

thanks cerfas, that's an interesting picture.

from an editorial in british vogue

 

[cerfas]

You're welcome
Great photo too
That's so beautiful--how old is it?
The focus on the objects she's holding reminds me of Renaissance portraiture...

 

[Estella*]

it's from 1997.
yes, i see what you mean. he used to be so close to things. i liked that.

(just in case you would want to know...the dress is prada, the boots are miu miu and the vest is tse)

 

[softgrey]

he's just way too much of an egomaniac for me now...

but i like the cropped shot with the prada dress...
thanks for including the credits anna...
i did want to know...

 

[cerfas]

Yay, thanks. I love the boots .

 

[Estella*]

you're welcome, softgrey, cerfas!

pics

Its from may 2000, lehmann maupin gallery (n.y)



I think he used a strong spot light for his fashion work…and i know, for a video i saw, he photographied with a contact t-2 for the go-sees book.

Ah yes, I've found my favourite shot. Its from www.bjork.com

Theres something very refreshing about JTs work, untethered from any technical obsession or insistance on perfection.
