- Book Synopsis
- This is the newest book in Juergen Teller's original and beloved "Masters" series. Teller made his first Master in 2005 as an homage to anything and everything he believes is a master or masterful-be it punk rock icon Iggy Pop, actor Gillian Anderson, football manager Carlo Ancelotti, or even a simple vase of flowers - as well as a tongue-in-cheek recognition of himself as the master of his photographic identity. The concept was simple: to create an ongoing collection of humble books, each at the same small size, with no text and as little design as possible - an antithesis to the standard overblown coffee-table book. Like past volumes in the series, The Master V presents an unpredictable mix of Teller's eclectic photography: be it his unorthodox fashion work, still lifes, landscapes, portraits, or images that move between these genres. Featuring subjects including chess grand master Garry Kasparov, editor-in-chief of British Vogue Edward Enninful and fashion designer Demna Gvasalia, The Master V reveals some of the fascinating personalities most inspiring to Teller at this moment. I don't like taking a sly picture on the side. I like the direct approach. I want to be as honest to myself and the subject as possible. And I'm depending on their humanness to come through. - Juergen Teller
