Juergen Teller, born in Germany in 1964, ranks amongst the most esteemed and groundbreaking photographers working today. After an auspicious beginning in the music industry in the late 1980s, snapping iconic pictures of the likes of Kurt Cobain and Sinead O’Connor, Teller moved on to the fashion world, quickly garnering international renown for his collaborations with the world’s most important models and designers. Instantly recognizable, Teller’s raw and overexposed aesthetic is reflective of his career-long exploration of honesty and truth, as evinced not only in his stark, blemished and often nude photographs of celebrities ranging from Helen Mirren to Kim Kardashian, but also in his even more revealing self-portraits.
