Iceland Photo Guide

photoguide.is

Chris is born 1973 in Reykjavík. He studied photography in Iceland, Norway and Denmark and has worked as a professional photographer for 25 years. Landscapes have always been closest to his heart. but for private or business clients he captures people, events and architecture and from 2010 he has offered private photo tours and workshops in Iceland.

"Iceland is not like any country - it's a Planet in itself. Living in this country has given one a strong feeling of purpose and belonging. And because Iceland and Icelanders are inseperable, protecting the nature is not just a passion but a urgent matter of survival. We can only protect something we know. To know something you have to see it with your own eyes or experience it through pictures. Then you are given a chance to connect with it emotionally which awakens your desire to protect it."

"I got my first camera at the age of five. Picture taking was always a part of my life as my dad is a photographer. During my childhood I travelled around Iceland as well as flew over the country with him in a small Cessna to shoot aerials. Thus I got introduced to my country both from the air and up close. But not all get such an opportunity to connect with their land. My hope is that my photography can bring people closer to the treasure that our Nature truly is and inspire more to get involved in protecting it."
