I am a photographer and stylist based in Reykjavik- Iceland. I shoot live music such as Bjork, Sigur Ros,Snoop Dogg,Franz Ferdinand,Foo Fighters and Peaches, and album artwork for musicians who inspire me like Valgeir Sigurdsson and Ben Frost.

Recently I began shooting for Singapore Sling, a band I have enjoyed for a number of years and highly recommend them to everyone.

Im obsessed with Ice and snow. I shoot more often on glaciers than in studios.
My fashion work normally takes place in cold desolate surroundings,and tends to feature designers like Comme des Garcons,Junya Watanbe,Raf Simons,Undercover, as well as up and coming Icelandic designers like Dead and Eyglo.

Last year I had my first exhibition at Comme des Garcons. It was lots of fun and my friends all came as well as some great fashion press like Diane Pernet and the editors of ID and Vmag. I am now preparing for my first UK show.

I live with my girlfriend in downtown Reykjavik 2 minutes away from the sea. I love the sea.
The Northern lights often pass over us when its cold and dark which is about 75% of the year.

My first book is released worldwide on Booth-Clibborn Editions, the publisher responsible for books by Damien Hirst and Sam Taylor-Wood.
It showcases 51 of the most original and exciting artists, designers and musicians in Iceland and comes with a stunning album featuring 16 of the best Icelandic bands.

I am currently working on my second book, a collection of fashion images taken in Iceland.

Commission/Collaborate

Services

I'm always interested in commissions for magazines or commercial work.

For Commission

Any designers looking for a photographer for either a look-book or campaign should consider contacting me before wasting their money on something forgettable. I produce original work and I deliver every time.
