For the lingerie brand Princesse Tam-Tam, autumn-winter 2009/10 will be fresh and cheerful. To photograph its collection, Princesse Tam-Tam has called on fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo.
A Norwegian photographer accustomed to fashion magazines, Solve Sundsbo has brought a breath of fresh air to the winter collections of the lingerie label. The theme is ‘Warhol me!’, which highlights colour and the customization of the range.

Taken in wide angle, the images play with the natural and the sophisticated with models who appear to be frozen in their scene. Otherwise features are left to speak for themselves: bright colours, surprising leopard prints and lace.

The Norwegian photographer, who has shot ads for Yves Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabbana and fashion features for Harper’s Bazaar and W, has paired with the creative studio-clothing label Surface to Air on a line of silk tops, dresses and oversize satchels, printed with three of his works.

Surface to Air X Solve Sundsbo bag, $200 at surface2airparis.com. Other pieces from the collection available at Barneys New York.“We were looking for images that could create surprising pieces,” said Aldric Speer, Surface to Air’s brand designer. Certainly nothing gives punch to an amorphous sac quite like Mr. Sundsbo’s film still of a scarlet macaw in midflight. source : the New york times

Miles Aldridge’s pictures describe a surprisingly glossy and electromagnetic pulsating world, full of smooth, illuminated models and venomous LSD colour tones. With his phosphorescent compositions and mystical situations, he balances between contemporary and figurative photography.

His latest book “Miles Aldride: Pictures Photographs” will be released this spring by Steidl. MILES ALDRIDGE – Doll Face 2 April – 10 May, 2009 Hamiltons Gallery 13 Carlos Place, London W1K 2EU
