A new book by German photographer Juergen Teller, who became a sensation in the music industry after photographing record covers for Björk and PJ Harvey, as well as backstage at Nirvana's tours, and has since worked on advertising for fashion houses such as Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Celine, and Louis Vuitton.

This book, published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Suzanne Tarasieve Gallery in Paris in the spring of 2014, combines a series of self-portraits capturing Teller working out with previously published series of advertisements and family photos, as well as a series of photographs of Teller's mother in the forests of his hometown, Nuremberg, Germany, resulting in a cleverly edited, pop-inspired photo book.

Jurgen Teller has many fans not only as a fashion photographer, but also in the art world. His unique style, which captures the natural expressions of models and makes extensive use of flash, has revolutionized what was previously known as "fashion photography." The works included in this book are a testament to Jurgen's true talent, as he effortlessly transcends the boundaries between fashion and art.
