Tom Sandberg (photographer) explained
Tom Sandberg (14 September 1953 – 5 February 2014) was a Norwegian art photographer.
Early life and education
Sandberg was born on 14 September 1953 in Narvik, Norway, the son of Erik Sandberg and Aina Hällström.[1] He grew up in the Grorud Valley in eastern Oslo.

Career
Sandberg worked as a photographer from the 1970s. According to Juxtapoz (2022), 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]
