Von Unwerth's latest work is a provocative visual narrative exploring sexual obsession. Set at the Baroness's estate, a trio of young women expect a relaxing weekend but soon find themselves entangled in a sadomasochistic story orchestrated by the Baroness, her chauffeur, and stablehand.
In just a few years, the Bavarian-born ex-model Ellen von Unwerth captured the attention of the fashion world. Her photography features the faces and bodies of top models and celebrities, and gives her famous male counterparts, such as Helmut Newton and Peter Lindbergh, a run for their money. Her work takes on an erotic edge, but this often gives way to romanticism, femininity and charm. Von Unwerth's photography has featured in fashion magazines, international advertising campaigns and music videos. She has worked with and directed artists such as N'Dea Davenport, Duran Duran and Salt 'n' Pepa.

„Dieses Buch ist Ellen von Unwerth par excellence - es enthält die unterschiedlichsten Paare in allen möglichen Beziehungskonstellationen und so manche Überraschung. Doch das ultimative Paar sind für mich Ellen und ihre Kamera“, schreibt Ingrid Sischy am Ende ihres Vorworts zu Couples - ein Buch, das, prall gefüllt mit Leben, der Lust den Spaß zurückgibt. Erotisch, frisch und immer unkonventionell photographiert die in Paris lebende gebürtige Österreicherin Ellen von Unwerth höchst erfolgreich ihre Modelle hinter den Kulissen von Mode, Sex und Glamour und erfindet gleich noch das Genre des Photobuchs neu: spritzig und laut, klein und dick wie eine Bibel soll es sein! Voilà, hier ist es wieder, in einer broschierten Sonderausgabe.
Packed with practical advice, this work offers tips on how to look fabulous whether you have 20 to spend in Topshop or 2000 to spend in Gucci, as well as personal anecdotes from the fashion world."
