Juergen Teller / Stephanie Seymour: MORE

Rating:
Summary: MORE is less than I expected
Review: 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.
