Lindsay Lohan | Ellen von Unwerth | Vulnerable for GQ Deutsch Aug 2010
The just-out GQ Deutsch, Aug. 2010 Ellen Von Unwerth image capture of Lindsay Lohan probes her essence in a way that escaped even Bert Stern, using Lohan in his New York magazine duplication of Marilyn Monroe’s “Last Sitting” photos.
Ellen Von Unwerth has achieved with Lindsay Lohan what Terry Richardson can’t and won’t in the Purple magazine cover shoot this winter: connecting women’s images beyond porno flesh. Surface interest isn’t Richardson’s camera beat.
This splendid photographer woman Ellen von Unwerth takes deep dives under the covers with her subjects, and this Lindsay Lohan editorial is no exception. Ellen’s vision and fingerprints are everywhere in these images.
Just this weekend, posting Ellen Von Unwerth’s last Jane Magazine photoshoot of Eva Mendes, I remarked to myself that Ellen captures Marilyn qualities in every woman, better than Bert Stern did Lohan, who looked harder and trashier than Marilyn in the New York Magazine photos.
Trashing up Lindsay Lohan is easy.
Ellen von Unwerth’s intimacy skills at work again, choosing to illuminate and communicate Lindsay Lohan’s vulnerability and beauty for GQ Germany.
Gone is the “Mean girls” tacky side people love to hate, replaced with Lohan’s human fragility. Even a ciggie hanging out of her lips leaves her Lohan beautiful and real for once in her life. Perhaps, I exaggerate.
Let’s say that we see another layer of Lindsay Lohan emerges in the Ellen Von Unwerth photos, which are also a credit to GQ Deutsch. But then I’m not surprised. Reality is that European men see women differently. We American girls must face the facts.

I just love Lindsay Lohan, I have always found her to be beautiful. But she is beautiful in a way that a forest fire is beautiful. As expected, Von Unwerth captured both her beauty and her trashiness that I actually love.
So , please explain to me this idea that European Men view American women differently? I just met a man from Europe, and we clicked instantly. He lives an hour and a half away, so the desire for his presence is killing me! Will be seeing him tonight, though... Christmas Eve with my crazy family.
It's interesting that you pull the same "trashy whore" card on Lindsay that you so object in your other posts. Yes she's a train wreck. I just hoped that you had the social consciousness not give such a superficial and vain judgment. Or is it that you think she doesn't have her problems - that systematically ruining her own life is what makes her happy. Cause she's got a bad bad nature... Talk about the evil in women.
Besides being incredibly hostile Alectra, you can't read. Or if you can read, you don't comprehend the words.
Given the positive words I wrote about Lindsay Lohan in these photographs, your comment is an embarrassment to yourself. Just tell me you're not American, because then you are confirmation of our sinking global test scores in reading comprehension.
Talk about the evil in women is right!!!! Put your boots on girl cuz you're deep in it. Before you shoot off your mouth again (twice in two days now) READ first, think and process, consider the meaning and intention, then comment. You seem to skip all but the last phase.
Our commitment to free speech is not limitless, even if you have an inspiring Greek woman moniker. To date, you're not doing justice to the woman's name you dabble with.
