PERSONAL ICONS

Sven Jacobsen photographs people in their multitude of forms and activities. His lens captures individuality in each and every subject and his work is in constant demand throughout the media world. In this new book, he has chosen to highlight extraordinary and unusual characters who portray their own unique beauty, often far away from the expected norms that society offers. He has chosen them because he believes that they stand for something special, that they have an opinion of their own and are living their lives while staying true to themselves and their beliefs. The book is a master-class in portrait photography, and will appeal to a wide audience, ranging from other successful commercial photographers, to people delighted to celebrate their own individuality through sharing these images.Today we have access to almost everything and anything we want, whenever we want it, to the point of losing our identity as individuals. People evolve from free, creative, playful kids into consumers. They adopt and act based on whatever comes to their mind at the given moment. There are very few things left that are still unique. Sven Jacobsen is drawn to people who portray their own unique beauty far away from the expected norms society offers, simply showing their own strong personality.
