In addition to having built a career as a photographer, film producer and video director, she has collected her works in several books and two photo-novels, often accompanied by exhibitions all over the world. Her photographs have been included in numerous international exhibitions.
The sensual ad campaigns for Guess in the early nineties have served as the springboard for her commercial career, and many other campaigns have followed, including a series of advertisements for Sex and the City. Von Unwerth has also ventured into the world of directing short films and commercials.
