Ellen Von Unwerth, Berlin

Description

This striking editorial image captured by photographer Ellen Von Unwerth features a woman reclining on a bed with her legs raised upward against the headboard. She is wearing fishnet stockings and black high heels, while holding open a newspaper directly in front of her face with the bold headline ROXIE ROCKS CHICAGO! printed across the front page. Her head is tilted back with a dynamic expression, and long blonde hair fans out across the bedding. The composition is presented in a contrasting diptych format, with the left panel in high-contrast black and white and the right panel heavily saturated in dramatic red tones against draped fabric.
