Ellen Von Unwerth, Berlin

Description

This striking black-and-white fashion portrait by photographer Ellen Von Unwerth captures a woman positioned behind a heavily textured, frosted glass surface. She wears dark sunglasses and a patterned head covering, adding an enigmatic quality to the scene. Her outstretched hand is pressed against the glass in the foreground, creating a sense of physical barrier and direct intimacy. The high-contrast monochromatic grading accentuates the grainy texture and light reflections across the glass. The composition emphasizes mood and texture through dramatic lighting and obfuscated details.
