Ellen Von Unwerth, Berlin

Description

This striking black and white editorial portrait features supermodel Naomi Campbell seated on a toilet inside a tiled bathroom, photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth. She wears a dark slip dress with mesh detailing and high-heeled sandals, holding a small knife in one hand while biting down on a cigarette. Her arms are raised gracefully overhead with hands clasped, and her hair is styled in an updo framing her face. The high-contrast lighting accentuates the dramatic mood and textures of the tiled floor and surrounding bathroom fixtures. An empty glass bottle and other small items rest on the tiled floor near the base of the toilet.
