Ellen Von Unwerthâs thirty-year storied career defined the aesthetic of the 90âs and 2000âs and has made her a staple of fashion photography. Crafting cinematic scenarios for her shoots, Von Unwerthâs flashy, kinky, and humorous photographs invite viewers to come along on a boisterous escapade. By furnishing each of her subjects with a new persona to inhabit, she allows their inhibitions to melt away. The story telling aspect in her creative process has allowed her to create images that are never static and begs the question, âwhat is really going on here?â The inherent sexuality in her images is never without fun, and the subjects within her works are always powerful - positioned in control of their sex appeal.
