Ellen von Unwerth. Heimat. Limited Edition

Ellen von Unwerth (born 17 January 1954) is a German photographer and director.

She worked as a fashion model for ten years before becoming a photographer, and now makes fashion, editorial, and advertising photographs.

In a 2018 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she explained her feminist approach to photography: “The women in my pictures are always strong, even if they are also sexy. My women always look self-assured. I try to make them look as beautiful as they can because every woman wants to feel beautiful, sexy and powerful. That’s what I try to do.”
