"The Master I" is a collection of works by German photographer Juergen Teller (1964-). Teller has brought about a major shift in fashion photography since the 1990s, disrupting the boundaries between fashion and art with his unbiased approach that does not distinguish between advertising, magazines, and personal work, and his raw, uncontrived gaze. This book is the first in the "The Master" series of pamphlets published by Steidl, marking the beginning of a project in which Teller reexamines the very concept of "master" with humor and respect. Starting with portraits of his heroes, such as William Eggleston and Nobuyoshi Araki, the book juxtaposes famous and unknown figures, self-portraits, and still lifes taken in his hometown of Nuremberg, placing them on the same level despite the subjects' fame and context. This book serves as the prologue to a series that encapsulates Teller's creative approach, attempting to capture the energy and traces that remain in photographs, as well as the feeling of a lost moment.
