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.

Behind the Shot – Polar Stratospheric Clouds
