Document always asks me to photograph someone I find exciting. Two years ago it was Iggy Pop, at his home in Miami. He was excellent—such an inspiring person. Iggy left a deep impression on Dovile and I. Sometime after, our daughter was born, and we called her Iggy.

When Document found out we named our daughter after Iggy Pop, they said she had to be on the cover. That made me think…

Every parent has a cute picture of their newborn, but it would look ridiculous as a portfolio. After long consideration, I came up with the idea of Iggy Teller does Teller. We restaged what have been deemed my “iconic” photographs with Iggy.

We, as a family, had brilliant fun.
