If I have a crush on any female photographer it is Miss Ellen Von Unwerth. No other photographer photographs women as beautiful, fun and as saucily as Ellen. Her photographs are packed with colour, kohl eyed women with sleek groomed hair and her black and whites push contrast to new levels. Ellen rocks. Taschen have released a limited edition called Fraulein, a little out of my price range at 1200 Euros but I hope the good folk over at Taschen will release it eventually at a friendlier price. Great Christmas present....
Ps if you are in Paris on the 22nd of December, Ellen will be signing copies at the Taschen store in the 6th...
