Final Week to Visit My Photo Exhibition ‘Fire and Ice'

Exhibition Photography

Thank You!

Now that the dust has settled, I wanted to say "Thank you!" to each and everyone who visited my photography exhibition 'Fire and Ice', bought one of the photographs or sent me encouraging messages. I am very grateful for the tons of support my work has gotten.

New on YouTube: Photographing Arctic Fox Cubs in Hornstrandir

Earlier this month I spent a few days in Hornstrandir, a remote area in the West Fjords of Iceland. My goal was to photograph the arctic fox cubs which start leaving the safety of their dens around that time.

A Morning of Seal Photography in Iceland

Recently, I spent a morning photographing seals at one of my favourite locations. It was an interesting morning for wildlife due to the weather conditions. In this blog I share how things went and also how I edited my photographs from this trip.

Memorable Encounter With a Seal Pup

Two weeks ago, I went on my first photography excursion, other than the eruption, since early March. I travelled to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and had an awesome weekend filled with wildlife encounters. One of those encounters really resonated with me.

5 Photographers to Follow when you’re a Nature Photographer

When I’m not out photographing, I find I am spending a lot of time looking at what fellow photographers are doing. I’m doing that to get inspired, to learn new techniques or to enjoy the photographic work that many other talented people are putting out there. In this blog, I listed up 5 photographers whose work I thoroughly enjoy.
