Aurora Borealis Northern Lights Volcano

Photographing the Aurora Borealis Above an Eruption (Again)

Three years ago, during the 2021 eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system in Iceland, I set out on a mission to try and capture the northern lights above an erupting volcano. I recently attempted to witness this unique & rare combination of natural phenomenons again, which I have dubbed the ‘Holy Grail of Iceland Photography’.

Behind the Shot Volcano

Behind the Shot – New Earth

For this final story of 2023, I am doing a bit of a different take on the concept. I won't specifically talk about one photograph but rather an entire project. I will share the story behind my book, New Earth - A Photographic Journey Of The Geldingadalir Eruption, which I self-published two years ago this week.

Behind the Shot Volcano

Behind the Shot – Earth’s Beating Heart

In this month's "Behind the Shot" story, I take you back to the Geldingadalir eruption in 2021 when I captured one of my favourite shots of that eruption and maybe all-time. I named the photograph Hraunhjarta, which means "lava heart" in Icelandic.

Behind the Shot Volcano

Behind the Shot – Past & Present

The subject of this month's 'Behind the Shot' is a photograph which I named 'Saga' (translated: 'History'). I took this photograph during the Geldingadalir eruption in 2021 shortly after all but one crater shut down, which ended up growing into a massive mountain which is still there today. In this photograph you can see the northernmost crater in the foreground…

Behind the Shot – How Spontaneity Earned Me an Award-Winning Photo

In this month's 'Behind the Shot' blog I want to tell the story behind one of my favourite images, called 'Skýjasnúningur'. I want to share that story because I feel it goes to show that even though you might be lucky with certain conditions and situations, you still need to act on it to make it happen.
