These Ellen Von Unwerth photoshoots have maintained a distinctive vibe, all rife with originality and a palpable brand of eccentricity. The German-born photographer and director has teamed up with some talented models and iconic labels, producing editorials and advertisements in association with Vogue, Vanity Fair and Arena.
The models showcased in Ellen Von Unwerth projects are always done up in accordance with a beautifully bizarre theme. Candy colored ensembles and exaggerated hairstyles are usually key in these photoshoots, building up rodeo sets and glamorous hotel scenes. And while the Unwerth vision always delivers a blast of bright imagery, the spreads cannot be predicted, always opting for the most taboo of subjects and virtually anything current.
