Ellen Von Unwerth is a photographer who specialises in erotic femininity. For ten years she worked as a fashion model and now works behind the camera. “The difference is that I don’t stand behind the camera drooling. Knowing that the model is more likely to be natural, to open up and relax”. The German-born photographer began by talking photographs o her models trends and soon her unique talent was recognised and she was soon image making for publications such as Vogue, The Face and I-D. Her work offers a distinctly playful and sexual style as well as being candid. However although Von Unworth models appear to be heavily made up and glamorous. She still manages to make a natural aspect to her images. Her sensual campaigns for Guess? In the early 1990’s launched her commercial career and she since worked for Victoria’s Secrets, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel, Mui Mui and Diesel as well as advertisements for HBO’s Sex and The City. Starting out with reportage photography Unwerth has gone on to make her self known and respected in fashion photography. She has developed a strong unique style that combines elements of Helmut Newton and Terry Richardson. As a computably self taught, untrained photographer she choose to work in black and white mostly she shoots on location and her images have a strong sense of spontaneity. I really love the impulsive, upstaged playful nature of depth and texture to them as though they have been taken decides ago , and the intimate locations of bedrooms and a sense of realism to Ellen Von Unwerth images.
