Behind the Shot – Past & Present
The subject of this month's 'Behind the Shot' is a photograph which I named 'Saga' (translated: 'History').

In this month's 'Behind the Shot' blog I want to tell the story behind one of my favourite images, called 'Skýjasnúningur'.

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.
