About Juergen Teller
Juergen Teller (b. 1964, Erlangen, Germany; lives and works in London) is a prominent photographer who has successfully navigated both the fine art and commercial world since beginning his career in the late 1980s.
Teller does not distinguish between his commercial and non-commercial work, treating all of his subjects—family members, celebrities, and himself—with a uniform style of grit and raw emotion that has become his iconic and instantly recognizable aesthetic. Although he often parodies fashion photography, he is very much a participant in it, promoting the industry even as he criticizes it. Teller subjects his models to unflattering angles, uses a bright, harsh flash, and never retouches his photographs, exposing the myth of idealized beauty that airbrushed fashion images offer. Teller’s work is characterized by a spontaneity and genuineness that he believes better evoke authentic desire in comparison to the artificial sensuality often found in commercial photography.
About Demelza Hospice Care for Children
Demelza Hospice Care for Children provides expert clinical care and emotional support to children with terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family, for as long as they have.
When a child is born with or develops a terminal condition, the emotional and physical impact affects the whole family and can be overwhelming. In 2021, across SE London, Kent and East Sussex there were almost 5,000 children living with a terminal condition and this was set to double in the following 10 -15 years.
Demelza's nurses support families by passing on their knowledge to equip those closest to the child with the confidence and skills to manage their child’s symptoms and complex medical needs in the hospice and at home.
