Jurgen Teller: Handbags

“In 1999 I did a book called Go-Sees where girls came knocking on my door over a one-year period to show their portfolio and themselves, Recently, walking through Paris, I found myself thinking what work I would exhibit in my upcoming museum show in Naples, Handbags, I’m just gonna do a handbag book and a show, It felt like another Go-Sees book to me, Friends of my girlfriend were asking me what kind of a photographer I am, what I photograph, I replied: ?Actually, come to think of it, mostly handbags,’ I always like their astonished and disappointed faces! I realized through the 30 years of my career, I photographed a hell of a lot of handbags within my fashion work, And as the Americans once said to me, ?Where’s the money shot?’ I looked at them puzzled, ?Show me the money shot!’ they repeated, Here they are: the money shots in this collection of images for my new book,” Juergen Teller
