t has been over three years since I interviewed German photographer TeeJott for a Wire Magazine cover story about his work, which included photos of some of the gorgeous models he photographs. You can visit wiremag.co/issue01_2015 to read that interview and browse through the sexy model photos. I recently thought about TeeJott's wonderful photographs and decided to contact him for an update about his work. Like any talented artist, TeeJott has continued to evolve and his model photography has taken more of a documentary project nature, showing the development of his beautiful models. Rafa Carvajal: For those who missed our last interview in 2015, tell us how your photography work has evolved since then. TeeJott: Before 2015, my work was surely more influenced by my 12 year experience in working on film-material and in black and white. I still publish my calendar each year in black and white, but since then, I have adapted my style more and more to the new possibilities of digital technology, which in effect means that my pictures are more colorful and more often presented in color. In regards to the content, I can say that my photos have evolved to a more lively, dynamic composition. The other major change is my new casting procedure, with a much more rigid evaluation of the model applicants before I start to work with them. The advantage: Since 2015 most new models work exclusively with with me for 1-2 years. Starting from a newcomer level via TeeJott model level to the TeeJott top model level. I have basically opened a sort of TeeJott model academy, and thus my photo projects can also be viewed as a documentary project that shows the development of my models.
"I HAVE ALWAYS MANAGED TO CLIMB TO THE NEXT, HIGHER LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE, ALTHOUGH EACH AND EVERY TIME I THOUGHT, "THIS IS IT" AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET BETTER THAN THAT." - TEEJOTT
