A little bit about Ellen Von Unwerth

  Since I've been posting a lot of her photography, I thought you should know a bit about her. Let's start off with her name ! Ellen {Von} Unwerth. How does {Von} make you feel? Her name brings the naughtiness in me. Ellen is a German model born in 1954. She holds a special place in glamour/erotic photography as a photographer after 10 years of modelling. She says that her photography sessions involve bondage and creates scenarios in which women dominate men. She admires Bettie Page as a pinup icon and in which she includes some of her looks in her photography. Ellen Von Unwerth has all the trappings of a classic, highly stylized tale in the form of sexuality. I love her black and whites shoots, it just give everything an erotic feel.

   Let me share some shoots of Keira Knightley by Ellen von Unwerth for {Vogue Italia January 2011}.

Monday Music: Lucie Silvas

   Lucie Silvas has always been my all time favourite artist. She is a British singer born on 04/09/1980. Her music career is best known in UK. She released two albums - "Breathe In" in 2004 and "The Same Side" in 2006. My favourite songs in her first album "Breathe In" includes, Last Man Standing, Forget Me Not, Nothing Else Matters, What You're Made Of and No Defence. According to her second album I haven't had the chance to listen it. There is something about Lucie that makes me want to listen to her music over and over again. Is it her sentimental voice that appeals me? or is it her lyrics that truly every word has its own meaning?. The simplicity of her playing the piano and just singing along with the melody has a sensitivity and emotion for a story to tell and I've been touched by her lyricses. Enough with the talking, I have just one of the songs I just mentioned earlier for you to listen, it's called No Defence. I hope you like it.

 

Losing My Way

   I have written this post a hundred times in my head in many different ways. I lay awake last night and tried to make sense of why I blog and what I should blog about in this small space of mine. How personal should one be? How honest? Do people really want to visit this space to read about how I drown into tears every now and then? But I'm afraid I very nearly did, so consequently I lost my blogging voice for months because I just couldn't pretend and witter on about how each picture speaks instead of me looking for words that describes who I am and what I like. I can't hide things you see. I wear my heart on my sleeve and maybe this blog isn't just about flowery things, pictures and my latest obsession of Ellen Von Unwerth .
   Now I have got that off my chest and told you where I really was/am at - I can move on and babble about photography and things I possess.
