Juergen Teller: Enjoy Your Life!
Juergen Teller, born in 1964 in southern Germany, is one of the world’s most sought-after contemporary photographers. His works, many of which take the form of extensive series, are published in books and magazines and are shown in exhibitions.
His pictures straddle the interface of art and commercial photography. His stylistic device of choice is the portrait. Working in the areas of music, fashion and celebrities as well as everyday scenes and landscape, he draws on his intuitive feel for people, situations, milieus and clichés to create images of great immediacy and deceptive simplicity. His compositions often convey a sense of the incidental or even slapdash, but on closer inspection it becomes clear that they are very carefully composed and conceptualised.
