Ellen Von Unwerth, Berlin

Description

This high-contrast monochrome portrait captured by photographer Ellen Von Unwerth presents a woman reclining on a large draped bed with dramatic canopy curtains. She wears fishnet tights, a dark bustier, and high heels while extending one leg upward in a dynamic pose. Her blonde hair is spread across pillows on the rumpled white bedding. The scene is illuminated by harsh directional lighting that creates deep shadows and stark highlights across the subject and the ornate interior hotel setting.
