“Hera” is one of these pictures, made when I wanted to make a portrait of my 15 year old daughter within the nature witch I found that would best describe her strong character and Icelandic ethnicity.

This collaboration piece "Wild is the wind" made with @harpa_einars_ is my favourite from the series "Spiritual Landscapes". I loved working with Harpa as we share the passion of all things in nature, spiritual and healing.

Sparkly snowflakes and geothermal steam. Melting into a warm white chocolate mousse mmm :) Icelanders actually have over a hundred words for snow. There are variations depending on when the snow lands, in which weather conditions and how much of it falls in one go. You can name snow according to what’s happened to it after it’s already fallen. There are even words for snow that moves in a certain way. Watching nature composing a magic scenery every day is one of the reasons I am hooked on photographing all these different faces of snow as some might have noticed :) . . . . . . . . #icelandnature#challenging#newadventure#fineartphotography_bw#Fineartphotographyprints#geothermal#bluelagoon#snowart#weneednature#visualsofearth#environmentalist#fineartphotograph#stillswithstories#artphotographer#etheral_moods#natureRomantix#polarnight#myarticlife#snowporn#difficulttimes#dreamland_arts_of_nature#elves#moodyscenery#kidsinnature#natures_moods#landscapephotographygb#nikonphotographers#snowstoms#darkroom_daydream (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLrjQqcA8JE/?igshid=yoqknanivzmo

This is my brother Kjartan Páll, he has been in my pictures since the day I started photographing, he was about 4 years old. What I love about him, being around him and including him in my work is this endless spark of excitement and childish energy. To be able to have fun in whatever circumstances and whatever the weather might be, he's always just up for it, squeaking with excitement and ready to jump in the game. . . . . . . . . . #winterfun#sleddingfun#newadventure#dleddinghill#snowymountains#snowyday#snowylandscape#Icelandicnature#iceland#weneednature#visualsofearth#winterfell#fineartphotograph#stillswithstories#artphotographer#etheral_moods#natureRomantix#polarnight#myarticlife#bluehourphotography#dreamland_arts_of_nature#darknature#moodyscenery#artisartcommunity#natures_moods#landscapephotographygb#nikonphotographers#snowstoms#snowstormfun#darkroom_daydream (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmQ5zFA55N/?igshid=dt2k1u1om0pp

There is rawness about her that many don't understand. She is chaos in the wind and fire across the sky and not everyone can appreciate the beauty of a storm. words by JmStorm Starburst, Iceland 2012 #icelandnature#darkroom_daydream#newadventure#fineartphotography_bw#Fineartphotographyprints#fineartphotographygallery#reykjavik#iceland#weneednature#visualsofearth#environmentalist#fineartphotograph#stillswithstories#artphotographer#etheral_moods#natureRomantix#polarnight#myarticlife#the_mirror_of_our_souls#difficulttimes#dreamland_arts_of_nature#darknature#moodyscenery#artisartcommunity#natures_moods#landscapephotographygb#nikonphotographers#snowstoms (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKAKYfAU0S/?igshid=wzrygvmce4k8

There is nothing more amazing than the magic of nature. 
To visit the charming places that scare us and to do the things that take us out of our comfort zone. To be somewhere, in the middle of nowhere, where there is nothing to relate to and still feel we belong . . . . . . . #icelandnature#icebergs#iceberg#glacierlagoon#glaciers#glacierwater#newadventure#brandstory#Fineartphotographyprints#fineartphotographygallery#iceland#weneednature#visualsofearth#environmentalist#fineartphotograph#stillswithstories#artphotographer#etheral_moods#polarnight#myarticlife#bluehourphotography#moodyscenery#natures_moods#landscapephotographygb#nikonphotographers#icelandic#kidsworld#icelandphotography#icelands (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1v-sqgaKT/?igshid=94lb6k3mpv6x

This image I made in 2012 at the area close to the Blue lagoon and the old Grindaríkur road in Iceland. This area was for me a mystical and beautiful natural wonder which I visited regularly while seeking inspirations and making work. It has disappeared under a hotel and a spa.

My granddad had such soft skin, and was always really elegant looking, well shaved and smelled so good. He was a serious business man, and really knew his business and family well so nothing passed him by. He loved my grandmother dearly and took really good care of her, and they were so close, I never really imagined them being apart. This image reminds me of him, flying up there, watching over us. . . . . . . . . . #icelandnature#fineartphotograph#stillswithstories#conseptualart#artphotographer#etheral_moods#natureRomantix#myarticlife#dreamland_arts_of_nature#moodyscenery#artisartcommunity#natures_moods#landscapephotographygb#etheral_moods#nikonphotographers#nikonphotographers#nightphotographers#savetheocean#seagullphotography#blackandwhitepics#blackandwhiteuniverse#blackandwhitephotooftheday#blackandwhitephotograph#oceancreatures#oceananimals#oceanair (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKT8tuMAJ0u/?igshid=1lamkbju5kyqr

Thoughts have power… as someone once said; "every great discovery, achievement, or invention began as a simple thought in the mind of an inspired man or woman." When I head out on my photographic journeys, it always starts with an inspired idea. Then I take a long time to think about it, reshape it and plan the journey. But it is always this amazing feeling or energy in my stomach that keeps me on the track and despite how long time has passed from the original idea, the excitement is still there when I head out to actually make it happen.

For me it is great photographing nature, as nature happens so much slower than people. It is nice to come back to the same place after some time has passed, you have changed so much yourself but the nature is still the same. Puts everything in such a beautiful perspective right? . . . . . . . . . . #newadventure#brandstory#fineartphotography_bw#Fineartphotographyprints#fineartphotographygallery#iceland#weneednature#visualsofearth#environmentalist#savetheocean#minimalnature#fineartphotograph#stillswithstories#conseptualart#artphotographer#etheral_moods#natureRomantix#polarnight#myarticlife#the_mirror_of_our_souls #blue#oldtonecollective#dreamland_arts_of_nature#_fairies_in_dark#darknature#moodyscenery#artisartcommunity#moodygang#cliffs#natures_moods@contemporarycollective@degreeart@fisl https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYu88JgXCF/?igshid=1blh5l8z3wg1o
