Why AI Won’t Replace Nature Photography (But Will Complement It)

2023 is the year in which artificial intelligence, or AI, has taken the world by storm.

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.

Behind the Shot – The Quest for Mælifell

Mælifell. The name might not ring a bell to those who aren't nature photographers but I'm almost certain everyone has seen this green, almost perfectly cone-shaped, mountain.

Review – The Heat Company Photography Gloves

As a photographer living in Iceland, I get confronted with harsh and cold weather conditions extremely often. Over the years I found that investing in great and durable outdoor gear is an absolute necessity if you're serious about any kind of nature photography. The one thing I've regularly struggled with is finding the right gloves.

Behind the Shot Iceland

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.

Review – ATOLL Tripod Collar

I was extremely intrigued when I discovered the ATOLL tripod collar. This new solution promises to replace your L bracket by solving issues such as the limited range of motion of your fully articulating screen & access to the ports on your camera. How does ATOLL hold up and will it replace my L bracket?

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.
