Juergen Teller Will Never Shoot ‘Stupid’ Pictures

Marc Jacobs campaign lensman Juergen Teller: “Everything is how you dress. Everything. I would never do some sort of stupid picture where everything is dark and you can’t see the fabric or whatever, or crop something badly so you don’t get the right impression of a garment. I did have my problems with fashion before, maybe. As a heterosexual man, I was always a bit embarrassed of being a fashion photographer and didn’t have the confidence to describe myself that way. Now I do have the confidence. It’s a weird thing to do, I know, but I just kind of got into it and I think I do it very well.” [Independent UK]
