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}.






















 

" (Women) are not just there to be admired, they are there to be enjoyed. "- Ellen Von Unwerth
