Behind the Shot – Polar Stratospheric Clouds

Last week almost the entire of North of Iceland was extremely fortunate to witness polar stratospheric clouds, or nacreous clouds, for about 6 or 7 days in a row. Even though we didn't see any such clouds in Reykjavík, it did remind me of one of the most amazing photography moments I've witnessed since moving to Iceland.

Behind the Shot – Aurora Above The Plane Wreck

This first "Behind the Shot" photograph is a special one to me: the northern lights dancing above the (now famous) DC-3 plane wreck in Iceland. It's the photograph that started it all and lead me down the path that turned me into the professional photographer I am today.

Braided Flows – Glacial Rivers From the Air

In the landscape photography community, Iceland is a prime location as there are so many bucket list shots to be made here. Perhaps some of the most sought after photographs, are those taken of the beautiful braided rivers which can only be seen from the sky.

Living Earth – a Geothermal Bird’s Eye View

There are currently no active volcanic eruptions on Iceland but there is still plenty of evidence of the tremendous heat present in the earth beneath it. On Iceland, there are many geothermal areas, which I find incredibly interesting to photograph.
