Sølve Sundsbø is a big name in fashion photography, born in Norway now lives in London. He plays with drama, sensuality and contrast in his shots, worked for Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Hermès and Dolce & Gabbana among others. Read my previous post about the Dolce & Gabbana Cosmetic campaign he shot with Scarlett Johansson and Gandy.
