#62 Juergen Teller & Dovile Drizyte

Juergen Teller and Dovile Drizyte join Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar for a conversation about the creative partnership at the centre of their shared life.

From his portraits of Kate Moss and Kurt Cobain to his collaborations with Marc Jacobs, Helmut Lang and Vivienne Westwood, Teller has developed one of photography’s most recognisable approaches.

Here, he and Drizyte discuss how working together changed that practice, the role she plays across ideas and production, and why she encouraged him to continue when commercial photography was beginning to lose its appeal.

We talk about building trust with the people in front of the camera, fashion as theatre, the value of uncertainty and the risks both took to be together. Drizyte also reflects on her path from political science and diplomacy to a career in New York and their life in London.

The conversation leads into Guten Morgen Sonnenschein, Teller’s exhibition at Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve in Paris. They discuss images of their bodies appearing to merge and the morning coffee photographs he describes as a love letter to his wife.
