AS ONE of the world’s most celebrated fashion photograph­ers, Juergen Teller is used to being in the company of glamorous women. Now he’s dating one — and she’s getting ready to shake up London’s art scene.

The twice-married German snapper, 55, who has lived in London for over 30 years, set tongues wagging about more than just his camera skills when dazzling Lithuanian, Dovile Drizyte, arrived on his arm at the opening of his latest exhibition in London.

‘We’ve been working together for just over six months but we met before that on holiday in Greece,’ she tells me. ‘We became a couple and he was very insistent on working together. It’s the best thing that happened to both of us.’

Before moving to London, the brunette lived in New York where she worked as a business consultant and partied with the likes of Hollywood stars Gerard Butler and Damian Lewis.

‘I learned a great deal about philanthro­py in New York,’ she says, adding she helped mastermind Juergen’s exhibition to raise money for Demelza Hospice Care for Children.

‘We can come here and drink champagne but what these people need is money. I said, “Either invite famous people or wealthy people” — because they have the influence and the money.’
