The Master III

Más información sobre el libro

In the summer of 2005, Steidl published a small booklet of Juergen Teller’s work, titled ‘The Master’, which explored his world and persona as a photographer through a blend of fashion, commissioned works, self-portraits, family photographs, and scenes from his Bavarian home. The book began with portraits of his heroes, photographers William Eggleston and Nobuyoshi Araki. After quickly going out of print, a second edition will be released alongside ‘The Master II’, initiating a series of booklets that will culminate in a slip-cased edition of ten or more in the future. ‘The Master II’ features his recent work ‘Ukraine’, where he uses Kiev as a backdrop for a fashion shoot, intertwining fashion, still-lives of the city, and portraits of everyday people to depict 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 influential publications such as W Magazine, iD, and Purple, and he has held solo exhibitions at venues like the Photographer’s Gallery in London and the Fondation Cartier in Paris. Teller has also produced several monographs with Steidl, including Marc Jacobs Advertising 1998–2009 and Zimmerman.
