Ellen Von Unwerth

I most definitely do not have a singular favorite artist, but one of my favorite ad/fashion/editorial photographers is Germany's Ellen Von Unwerth who does lots of fashion/beauty editorial work and erotic female photography. What I love about her work its the huge variety she has in her work and yet always makes each photography distinctly her own. She does a lot of switching between black and white/sepia and color in her editorials. Her photo's are often over exposed, grainy, or unfocused and usually scream sex appeal. Her use of color, lighting, and motion are phenomenal. I like the gothic undertones to her work, there's always homage to the past and a sense of mystery to eat photo. Here are some of my favorite editorial photographs, to see all of the pictures in each series click on the name of the featured model(s).
