Ellen Von Unwerth started her career as a model, before she
moved behind the camera. Ellen’s work centralizes itself around fashion culture
and aesthetic; heavily effecting her technique. All of her shots are glamorous:
lit with harsh light and high contrast. Unwerth’s work is a delightful blend of
editorial and theater. Her images set themselves apart in the fashion world
with a story, emotion, and idea behind each striking image.
A theme that stretches across the board of Ellen’s work is
the hyper-sexualization of females. Ellen seems to alternate back and forth
between the conforming “sexy” photos that are commonly found in the fashion
world, and pictures that use blatant sexuality to call the objectification of
women in fashion into question.
