Solve Sundsbo
Early Life
• Solve Sundsbo is a Norwegian fashion photographer, born in 1970.
• Sundsbo realised he wanted to pursue photography seriously after taking reportage and action photos of his friends skiing and clubbing.
• In the beginning of his career, he had difficulty finding a job because his work had no particular style and so people would say to him “ I’m sot sure if I can hire you, I’m not sure what you are doing. What is your style?”

Sundsbo’s “style”’
• Sundsbo’s style is recognized by all of the big names in the industry, marked by his undeniable ability to continuously reinvent his own style. “If I’ve got a style,” says Sundsbo, “it’s that I’ve got no style.”
• Solve Sundsbo’s work are all cleverly manipulated, making them out of the ordinary. His work incorporates everything from X-rays and 3D scanning to hi-tech manipulation and lengthy hand-painted retouching.
• Sundsbo has successfully developed his technique and it’s unique use of shadow and light, creating a very light, futuristic and ethereal image.
• Sundsbo creates remarkable pictures by concentrating on volume, line and graphics and with the use of filters and transparency.
• Most of Sundsbo’s pictures look as if they’ve been digitally altered when in fact, he uses a lot of old-fashioned techniques to make those effects.
