    To create this extreme close-up, Sølve Sundsbø, who is known for his otherworldly concepts and stylistic versatility, photographed Kate Moss in his East London studio, integrating long exposure and deliberate movement. While the black and white variant of this image was published in Vogue Russia in September 2009, this stunning colour version is previously unpublished. Voted best newcomer in 1999 at the International Festival of Fashion and Photography in Hyères, Sundsbø successfully works across a range of platforms from photography and fashion to music and film, winning an Emmy® award in 2011 for ‘Fourteen Actors Acting’, a video project for the New York Times.
