SVENDSANIA | PHOTOGRAPHY

Hei! My name is Rune Svendsen and I’m a Norwegian photographer based in Sydney since 2013. My preferred genre is land- and cityscape, often in combination. During my time in Sydney, I have made it my mission to seek out new and fresh angles across the city, harbour, beaches and beyond. Sydney originals. I enjoy photographing well known landmarks with my very own twist and style. My work has been featured in a publication by National Geographic, Australian Photography Magazine and recently in the book “In an Australian Light” by Thames & Hudson.
