Jürgen Teller

Jürgen Teller is a fine artist and fashion photographer who lives in Suffolk.
In terms of Jürgen's influences the photographers that have made the most impact on his work are Nobuyoshi Araki who is a contemporary photographer and William Eggleston who is an american photographer. He is inspired  by these people because they fully live their lives how they want and do what they want to do which he really appreciates. he is influenced by the cinematic industry and that growing up around television helped greatly and also by the people around him whether they are friends or family.




A vital part of Jürgen Teller's work is that it always have a narrative, there is always a story to tell, he says that when he shoots his images its an adventure with strange, bizarre, boring and exciting things. He says he makes is work because he wanted to explore the world.

He believes that there is social value in his work, he thinks that his work can help you to find your own individuality which he always trys to push within his work, but he wants people to find themselves even though its an extremely difficult thing to do. There are many types of photography in the world now, for example: fashion photography, contemporary photography, editorial etc, but Teller thinks photography is just considered photography, he says that fashion is practical, you can wear it and it can be a spectacle, theatrical or an idea to make you dream, he doesn't concentrate on thinking too deep into it he concentrates on making good work.

Jürgen Teller creates his photographs wherever and whenever he can, he takes his snaps whenever he feels necessary and by that, meaning all the time, even though he has different projects somehow all of his work seems to fit together perfectly. the camera he uses is a Contax G2 with a simple flash on top or without the flash using natural light, his settings are also very natural most of the time capturing people off guard or making them pose weather it is his family, friends, model or a celebrity.
