Lesbian geek - Stuff that inspires me - mostly girls, pop culture, LGBT rights and art.
suicideblonde: Who do you consider to be an influence on your work as a photographer? Ellen von Unwerth: I’m a big fan of Helmut Newton, I like the strength and the sexiness of his pictures and also the kind of storytelling - there’s always something risqué about them and that’s what I always love in my own photography - to tell a little story. When it looks like there’s something happening before and after. And my other big influence is Jacques Henri Lartigue - he’s a French photographer from the twenties. It was more reportage style, like photographs of elegant women wearing these amazing clothes with their funny dogs with lots of movement, and they’re very, very charming pictures. So I kind of looked at both of them. You know they’re very opposite but I like the combination of both of them. And then, you know, I love movies. I love like old Italian cinema old, French movies, Hollywood movies,Marilyn Monroe, you know, like Billy Wilder, all these things influenced me a lot.
