This is the man who, over the past decade, has taken amazing photographs of many of the world's leading musicians. Closer is a collection of the works of Soren Solkaer Starbird, a Danish photographer who has risen to astronomical heights in the world of international photography.
Starbird's portraits, ranging from deep and intimate studies to large format cinematic scenes shot in mind-blowing locations, have been published on the covers of the world's leading magazines: Q, GQ, Arena, Rolling Stone and Wallpaper.
Musicians featured in this volume include young, upcoming artists such as Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The White Stripes and The Killers, together with established music icons such as U2, Oasis, Robert Plant, Metallica, Damon Albarn, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Bj?rk, and Paul McCartney.
An exhibition of the works featured in Closer opened in Copenhagen, Denmark, and traveled internationally to prestigious destinations such as London and Beijing.
This new, revised edition contains up-to-the-minute photographs of artists such as Pete Doherty and Regina Spektor, and an additional 8 pages of content.
“... The sheer artistic achievement and the plethora of personal nuances captured in this beautiful book is quite overwhelming. I for one am very proud to be included is this tremendous book...” - Sune Rose Wagner, The Raveonettes
“Anyone who can keep five uninterested grown men in coats from Leeds in his view-finder for more than five seconds, must be some kind of genius.... Soren has a great understanding of light, and a rare eye for beauty and portraiture.” - Ricky Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs
“Working with Soren, nothing feels invasive or exploitative. You trust him and you forget about his lens. It becomes invisible. It makes him the photographer he is -- not just how he responds to his light meter, sets his aperture or chooses a composition, but how he can capture what makes us the humans we are.” - Alex Kapranos, Franz Ferdinand
