So here it is, finally, the post #100 her at Ben Trovato Blog. And for this special occasion I have chosen to feature what is one of my absolute favorite fashion photographers, Sølve Sundsbø. Sølve Sundsbø is a Norwegian fashion photographer who started out taking reportage and action photos of his friends skiing and clubbing and realized that he wanted to pursue photography seriously. He moved to London in 1995 where he studied at London College of Printing, before working as an assistant for photography legend Nick Knight for three years.

“He’s accelerated at a fast rate,” says Nick Knight. “I can always tell which of the assistants are going to do well because they have drive. Add to that the fact that Sølve loves all things modern. He’s excited by the future. New technologies have entirely changed the photographic landscape and he’s someone who is embracing these different directions.”

Now Sølve has worked for clients like Giorgio Armani, Bally, Boucheron, Etro, Givenchy, Gucci jewellery, Hermès, H&M, Iceberg, Lancôme, Estée Lauder, Yves Saint Laurent, Levis, Nike, Sergio Rossi, Emanuel Ungaro and Puma. His editorial clients include Another Man, Dazed and Confused, Harper’s Bazaar, i-D, Japanese Vogue, Numero, Pop, Visionaire, V and W. He has directed short films for Nike, Gucci and SHOWstudio.

Sølve’s work is a huge source of inspiration to photographers all around the world, and especially to Norwegian photographers, like me. As there are not any other Norwegian fashion photographers doing it as good as Sølve

Here’s a huge collection of his work:

About time I posted something about Chris Heads’ work. The Milan based fashion photographer has a style and approach that fits this blog perfectly, which of course means I find his work very inspirational. He has done work for magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Wallpaper, Elle and many more. His commercial clients include H&M, Mango, Nokia and Vodafone.

Here’s a taste of his work:

I have a thing for Greg Kadel’s outdoor photography. I simply love the mood he’s able to get in to his images. Kadel is based in New York, but was born and raised in Philadelphia. He has shot editorials for Vogue Italia and Harper’s Bazaar, but is most known for being a frequent contributor to Numero.

“Sun Goddess” is shot by Paola Kudacki and features model Diana Dondoe. It was published in the July 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK. Although I feel the sun tinted look is quite over used these days, I love the feel of these photos.
