Mobstr - Stavanger 2012

Portrait of the street artist Mobstr. He was about to finish up his piece at the Nuart Festival in September 2012. The portrait is part of the series called D.O.T.S. - Depending On The Street, which is photographer Søren Solkær Starbird's portraiture of an extensive range of the leading lights in street art. It is a book and exhibitions project. Book coming out 2014.

Legendary music photographer Soren Solkaer is now giving street artists the rock-star treatment with his new project Surface. Like the shots of the Stones in the 60s, which captured their devil-may-care attitude, Soren wanted to work on a project that would capture the rock’n’roll stars of the art world. He aims to photograph more than 85 of these illusive artists within a year.  You'll be able to see the project in his book Surface that’s out now. See www.artequity.com
