Peaches with Ahri

There is a picture I have been fascinated with for years, it is a photograph taken by Ellen Von Unwerth entitled Peaches, Rouilly le Bas, 2002. There is such fun sexiness I wanted to try my hand at my own version, Incorporating a well known neko named Ahri from the League of Legends videogame. Ahri is the first in my series idea of superheroines taking a snack break =) If anyone is interested…

Ellen Von Unwerh, the feminist photographer

This first picture is quite strong in my opinion. In it three women can be seen eating peaches while sitting next to each other in a certain position that isn’t necessarily pleasant to the eyes of a sexist society. Ellen Von Unwerth is a German photographer born in 1954. She is most known for her amazing shots of strong powerful women in sexy as well as aggressive situations. Besides that, this picture shows exactly what Ellens work is all about. As women are expected to “behave” and sit in a straight position with their legs crossed, straight back and neck and looking forward. It is soothing to see such an incredible shot of women just being themselves without a filter and going against the so called “manners”. As it can be seen, their legs are wide open, showing much cleavage as they comfortably eat a peach with their bare hands, without worrying if they would get messy or not. And as Ellen even said, “I don’t want to objectify women, or cast them only in this ‘sexy’ light. I want to see every side of them. There are so many sides to women. That’s why some of my best shots come when the girls think the camera has stopped rolling, you’re seeing something different to what they give you when they know they’re being watched, a vulnerability.” and it is that vulnerability that she mentions that can be clearly seen in this shot. The models can also be seen wearing “childish” clothes, which implies that they are acting like when they were kids and didn’t have to care about body standards or what society would say if they did this or that, they just want to enjoy their peach on a sunny day.

The second picture also speaks for itself in a way that it is a strong piece. In it we can see a naked lady reading a journal while getting breakfast sitting at the table. This image already has a sexiness of its own. It brings the idea that her body is being covered by only two pieces of paper, which are filled with mysteries and news. However, reading the newspaper has been a sign of masculinity even nowadays. The wife is expected to make breakfast while the man of the house reads his newspaper sitting on a chair while smoking a cigarette inside after being told not to multiple times by his lovable wife. Which he chooses to ignore as her opinion doesn't matter in a sexist society. However, this picture shows the opposite. As we can see she is placed in an environment where it is not her duty to make food for anyone. And she was probably caught in a very vulnerable state, where a normal woman drinks her morning tea while reading the newspaper. This was already a picture by Ellen that brought the idea of something known for being masculine being done by a feminine person.

As we could see some masculine representation on the last picture, this piece now takes it even more extreme and brings fashion to make a point. In the picture, a woman can be seen wearing a suit while holding a rose. Her eyes are quite darkened by a big amount of black eyeshadow and her expression brings the impression that she is the boss. The background filled with feminine and delicate furniture really contrasts with the masculine energy that the model brings to the picture. I would like to bring the idea of Image Spam by Steyerl Hito on the text ‘The Wretched of the Screen’, “Image spam is thus interpreted as a tool for the production of bodies, and ultimately ends up creating a culture stretched between bulimia, steroid overdose, and personal bankruptcy” So this ends up showing the importance of Ellens work, as Steyerl wrote “images trigger mimetic desires and make people want to become like the products represented in them”, Ellen shows a reality where women can be whoever they would like to be and still look sexy, as I quote “I’ve always loved to portray women who are strong, who are playful, who are self-assured, and who really own their sexuality, which is why I love working with Claudia, and Naomi, and all those girls.”

The last picture brings a certain time of certainty. A very well put woman walking her two maltese dogs goes shopping, hoping to spend all of her independently made money on clothes that will make her look even more like a goddess. And while she does it, also uses a servant that works at the expensive hotel she is currently staying in to hold all of her shopping bags. This image brings a lot of empowerment and the idea that it is a powerful move to look sexy and well presented at all times. She also brings the idea that she owes the world and is above all, and that was only achieved by her looks and confidence. Something that is very important to be represented in the media. As I quote Steryel “From the perspective of image spam, people are improvable, or, as He put it, perfectible. They are imagined to be potentially “flawless,” and that's what this series of images shows. How it is normal to open your legs and do whatever you want mainly as a woman. If we are shown to be weak, show them otherwise, which is what Elle was reyung to perceive as a photographer, in which she obviously succeeded.
