Sølve Sundsbø: Perroquet [signed]

Flying colours

”Perroquet” is an interesting series that somehow is the perfect fusion between scientific and fashion photography. The parrot, dressed in colour feathers, is captured by a hight-speed camera stopping the motion of its flying subject. Much like Muybridge a century ago, the study of motion is still utterly captivating.

The Norwegian fashion photographer has a lifelong interes with scientific photography. In this series he photographed the parrot in a studio.

The images in the book are printed with high-gloss coating making the colours even more vibrant.

While still a student in London, Sølve Sundsbø became Nick Knight’s assistant. Today, he is a renowned photographer and filmmaker working with clients Chanel, Armani, Cartier, Mugler, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Guerlain, Givenchy, H&M, Lancôme, Estée Lauder, Sergio Rossi and Boucheron apart from editorial work for all the big fashion magazines.
