I got the chance to meet Juergen Teller at Cafe de Flore during Paris fashion week…an interesting man he is. He is normally seen wearing trainers, running shorts and a blazer but his photography for the Fall/Winter 09/10 Self Service magazine is alluring with his use of colour and contrast. One of the shoots takes place in a castle in Germany with 500 rooms, but they could only manage to take photos in 100 of them. Make sure you check the magazine out!
