Product Description

In this, the last book in a trilogy begun with "Go-Sees" and continued with "Tracht", Juergen Teller concludes his examination of contemporary society's preconceived notions of beauty. "MORE", a collaboration with supermodel Stephanie Seymour, is a collection of intimate portraits shot over the last two-and-a-half years at Seymour's homes in Connecticut, New York, and Miami Beach. Through such unsettling images as close-ups of Seymour's lips and a depiction of her poised precariously on Jeff Koon's enormous "Puppy," Teller's trademark candor brings us closer to the inconsistencies that mark the life of this beauty icon. I like to leave things to chance. If everything is planned just so then it becomes tedious for me and the models. It is all about instinct, smell and feeling. --Juergen Teller

2.0 out of 5 stars MORE is less than I expected, May 28, 2002

By	Max "[e-mail]" (Scarborough, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

I like the IDEA of this book but I found the end result to be less than breathtaking. Certainly there are a few (very few) spectacular pictures, but there are also a lot of very mundane ones. The photographer, Teller, seems to like the effect of a flashbulb bouncing of his subject's face creating glare and eliminating detail (most people would just say the pictures were overlit). There is no text in the book, just pictures; not the text is really required, but it's one more thing that you aren't getting for your money. Had the book been a lot cheaper I wouldn't be complaining, but overall I get the impression that this ... book was slapped together in just a few days.
