intimate lust & excess
ever since i was informed of teller through a good friend of mine, something about his work keeps me going back to him. i have known about him but i never could pin point why i enjoy his work or what exactly it is that attracts me to him. teller's louis xv series is my favorite and the one that i can most relate to. i find i can relate to it because it reminds me of the self portrait series i did for george's class last semesterl; the polaroids with the harsh flash that created a voyeuristic feel to them. the first photograph of teller's (the one with the girls legs) is so intriguing to me. there are so many questions and answers that can be paired with that image. that is what i want to acheive with my images...questions that may or may not be answered. I want to combine voyeurism and uneasiness with the images i create this semester. i want to steer away from the more personal side of my work and make it more broad and vulnerable to the audience. i do want to stick wiht photographing myself, but not necessarily all nude. i feel like juergan does an amazing job getting this vulnerability across to his audience....
