Ellen Von Unwerth, “Omahyra & Boyd”
by Kenny Campbell

Her new photographs depict two iconic models of the 2000s, telling the story of Omahyra and her love for Boyd. Omahyra is Jean-Paul Gaultier’s muse, and Boyd is often photographed by David Armstrong, among others. Omahyra is exuberant, vibrant, sinuous and tattooed, free and joyful – a real tomboy. Boyd is angelically blond, shy, soft-lipped and rather feminine. Their androgynous personalities contrast one another, and they freely demonstrate their love in front of Ellen Von Unwerth’s inquisitive, complicit lens.
