Juergen Teller was born in Erlangen, Germany in 1964. He studied at Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich, Germany before moving to London in the early 1980s.  In England, Teller was introduced to the world of fashion photography and used his assignments at i-D, The Face, Index and W magazines as resources from which he could nurture his own photographic sensibility.  His work is the subject of monographs by Taschen and Scalo and he has had solo exhibitions at the Münchner Fotomuseum, Museum Folkwang, Essen, and Galleria d'Arte Moderna, among others, and has been included in exhibitions at the Tate Modern in London and Programa Centro de Arte in Mexico.  This year, Teller received the Citibank Photography Prize.  Juergen Teller continues to live and work in London.
