Tom Sandberg (photographer)

Tom Sandberg (14 September 1953 – 5 February 2014) was a Norwegian art photographer.[1]

Life and work

Sandberg was born in Narvik, but grew up in the Grorud Valley in eastern Oslo. In the early 1970s, he studied photography at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham, England.[2]

He worked as a photographer from the 1970s. According to Juxtapoz, with his "signature modulating gray scale", he made photographs of "the everyday—dark abstractions of asphalt and sea, the hard edges of an automobile, an ominously curved tunnel, an anonymous figure casting a shadow ... His pictures are subtle yet transformative, studies of stillness that radiate mystery."[3]
