Ellen Von Unwerth | Terry Richardson | Being One With Bonobos and Lindsay Lohan

Private Studio | Lindsay Lohan has a softly starring role in the lens of Ellen Von Unswerth’s editorial of Lohan in GQ Duestch Aug 2010. This is the third set of editorial photos we’ve posted from Ellen Von Unswerth in two days.

Besides bowing down and saying Hail Queen EVU — thanks for treating us sexy girls with an ounce of respect — we want to make the point that Ellen Von Unswerth photographs women with the mind of a bonobo, whereas Terry Richardson uses his chimp brain.

Anne of Carversville will soon be joining Vanessa Woods, author of “Bonobo Handshake”, in a global campaign to save the female-led, always f*ing around bonobos. It seems like a perfect fit for us.

Anyone who wants to date Anne will have to cough it up for the bonobos and she intends to use a new capitalism, sliding scale on the proper contribution, unless you’re a good-looking film director who makes award-winning documentaries. You know who you are. That constitutes another set of skills that will help the bonobos and counts as capital.

That means someone will be coughing it up bigtime to save the bonobo ladies of the Congo. Details in development but that damn Terry Richardson photo for Pirelli 2010 calendar prompts us to seize the moment. And we thought Italian men had some ooh la la!

In response to your request for "men" to comment on "women who radiate sensuality". Personally, I just love this. Nothing says more about a woman's self-confidence and self-esteem than being in-touch with her own sexuality and using that sexuality to her own advantage if and when appropriate to do so. As the old saying goes, "if' you''ve got it flaunt it", and within reason and using discretion, why not indeed !

I have a great love and admiration of women in general, much preferring the company of women to that of men. I guess you could say that I'm definitely not a "man's man". I enjoy being in the company of women and especially women who display the sensuality and sexuality to which you are referring.

In my work, I try to show a great love and respect of women and portrayal of their inner sensuality and sexuality is paramount to me. That said, it is fair to say that I do also produce some very explicit productions, but these are done with an underlying cause and objective, with the focus more on that aspect as opposed to the woman herself.

It pleases me to know that the vast majority of my collectors are in-fact women, and I receive on a regular basis a large amount of complimentary mail from female followers and admirers of my work. My commercial work under the "New Eroticism" label is primarily focused on heightening the element of female sensuality with the field of commercial photography, with such works also featured at GQ and the like, together with numerous other editorials, where sensuality, sexuality and female self-confidence are presented hand-in-glove (and very successfully) with products, campaigns and features.

I think we live in an age where women of all age and race can exploit to great advantage there own sexuality, providing they have the right circumstances and environment to enable them to do so, coupled of course with a good dose of self-confidence. I think we men can do a great deal to boost that self-confidence, and should strive to make effort to do so.

Unfortunately, jealously and certain religious beliefs can be of great constraint in enabling women to find and develop this new found freedom and status in society, and it is the task of all men and other fellow human beings to assist them in this quest. Of course, there are many people that will disagree with me, and many barriers to deal with depending upon your geographic location, which with persistance, can however be slowly broken down. Education is a major part of this task, and more often than not, education of the male species to recognise the joys and benefits we can attain by allowing women there own sexual freedom.

In 2011, I will be shooting a project entitled "The Woman Within". It will be shot in the MIddle East, in individual domestic environments, and will feature boudoir style images (including some nudity), of women normally fully covered according to Islamic beliefs. This is not to say that I have anything against Islamic beliefs, but the objective of this series is as the title suggest, to enable these normally suppressed women to exhibit there own sensuality and to provide a display of sexual freedom, if only during the shoot itself. All of the models will be everyday women living their daily lives according to the religious beliefs. However, all of these people have volunteered for this project, which although contentious (even perhaps dangerous), is intended to give them a voice to the world, and portray them for what they are, "women" !

Voila, that's my thoughts on the subject, I hope it gives you the feed-back you were seeking.
