Twitter users have been concocting a storm online after they saw Juergen Teller’s photos of celebrities in W Magazine, roasting the photographer and saying that enough is enough. In their opinion, the globally acclaimed photographer crafted amateurish shots that have no place being in the spotlight. However... there's a possibility that some of them might have missed the entire point of Teller's work.

Photos so bad they’re good? No! Photos intentionally so bad they’re great/still bad, depending on your point of view. When you see legendary photographer Teller’s pictures, you’ll probably have one of three reactions. You might point out that they’re low-effort, flawed, ridiculous, and you could’ve easily done the same. You might look beyond the photos and see the joke for what it is: this is German fine art and fashion photographer Teller’s signature self-aware style that has earned him fame around the world. Or you might recognize that Teller is a pro and find his work still to be amateurish at best, lazy at worst.

Bored Panda reached out to professional photographer Dominic Sberna to get his take on Teller's work. He told Bored Panda that there's "controlled chaos in each image" and that Teller strips down celebrities "to the point of normalcy." Dominic said: "I can see the appeal for someone who is used to having a photo shoot being a large-scale production, finding comfort and ease in a casual and/or rushed style shoot." Read on for our full interview with him.

Have a look through some of Teller’s celeb shots below and be sure to let us know what you think of them, dear Pandas. Personally, I think they’re great because they're raw and uncomfortable in a powerful way. But don’t let that influence your judgment! I could be wrong and I'd love to hear your take on everything!
