The Curious Case of Ellen Von Unwerth’s Long-Lost Model

Ellen von Unwerth on her favorite photo: “I took this maybe three years ago, on a fashion shoot for Italian Vogue. We developed a romantic story to go with it: a woman comes back to the place where she grew up, and finds it all dusty and falling apart. We shot it in a chateau in Paris. The girl was a model, and it was the only time I worked with her. After this, she disappeared. She was from eastern Europe, Romania maybe, and even the agency couldn’t find her again. So she’s like a ghost. The picture certainly has a ghostly feeling.” [Guardian UK]
