Discover the breathtaking beauty of Iceland through photography and storytelling. Explore rugged landscapes, glaciers, and the Northern Lights in this land of fire and ice.
When I saw this news pop up online, it stunned me. Reynisfjara, Iceland’s black sand beach I’ve returned to again and again over twelve years I’ve been travelling to Iceland. The black sand threshold where I’ve felt most alive, studying light from the air and stood humbled by colossal waves, has been transformed beyond recognition…
Creative residency preparation begins long before we arrive. When the destination is wild, remote and shaped by the elements, the way we prepare becomes part of the creative process itself. During my summer residency at Arctic Canvas in West Iceland, creative residency preparation was central to ensuring I could create from a place of presence….
There are landscapes that shape us quietly, over time, and there are others that strike like lightning. Leaving an imprint that feels almost cosmic. Snæfellsnes and the national park around Snæfellsjökull is both. Rising from Iceland’s western edge, this glacier topped volcano holds stories written in ice and ash. Its layered geology a record of…
Drones have transformed the way we tell conservation stories. From revealing inaccessible landscapes to offering new perspectives on wildlife behaviour, they open up opportunities for conservation photography that were unimaginable a decade ago. But with this power comes responsibility. Responsible drone flying in sensitive habitats requires more than technical skill — it demands an ethical…
There are few experiences as surreal as watching the aurora borealis dance from a plane window. At 30,000 feet, you’re above the weather, far from the haze of city lights and gifted with a clear, uninterrupted view of nature’s most captivating light show. To see the northern lights from the sky, illuminating the night in…
Ghost Fluke began on the wild edges of Snæfellsnes. Walking along the black sand beaches and scouring the volcanic coves, I collected fragments of ghost gear tangled in the tide line. Ropes frayed by salt and storms. Nets caught in basalt cliffs. Plastic debris stranded in moss and driftwood. Each piece carried its own story,…
Arctic Canvas is a place to stay, to be and to become. Some spaces don’t just hold you, they shape you. Iceland has always been that place for me, I call it somewhere that holds so much of my heart. It has been incredible to explore the islands across seasons and what is stretching out…
I never imagined this would be possible. That I’d be opening a solo exhibition in Iceland, at a museum dedicated to whales. That I’d stand alongside the wild sea I love so deeply, not just as a visitor or observer, but as a storyteller, an advocate, a witness. The exhibition is called Sjórinn Talar. It…
I’m currently on a creative residency in Iceland, staying at Arctic Canvas. A breathtaking space on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula designed to immerse you in wild beauty, stillness and flow. It’s a place where earth, sea and sky converge in quiet conversation. Where creativity feels like a living, breathing presence in the room with you. This…
Packing for Iceland is always an exercise in balance, layers that work across extremes, from horizontal snowstorms and gnarly winds to unbelievable still days as high pressures arrive and calm descends. On this trip, it was a joy to test out some of BAM Clothing’s sustainable layers and they proved to be beyond idea, offering…
