This photo comes from a piece by Erna Ómarsdóttir called „Hringir Orfeusar og annað slúður” that Íslenski dansflokkurinn is premiering tonight at Borgarleikhúsið tonight. Amongst the many moments from the piece, this one stood out as especially striking.

Brím

This comes from a run through photo session of a new Icelandic opera called Brím. The only light source was an LED attached to the videographer who is a part of the show. I was super nervous of the darkness, but in this case it worked out perfect.

Árið án Sumars | A Year Without Summer

I always enjoy photographing theatre pieces a little bit more than anything else that I do. This one involved some of my favourite artists from many different mediums of theatre, costumes, stage design, acting, dancing, and lighting design. The real star of this photograph is probably Óli Stefánsson, the lighting designer. He was the one who came up with the idea to flood the stage with sodium vapour flood lights. The effect is such that the only visible light on the spectrum is the yellow/orange wavelength. and the resulting photograph has almost no post work done to it — I added a +5,+10 -10 -5 contrast S-curve and that’s about it. Of course every photo is the result of a lot of people’s work and in this one, we see a lot of brilliant people coming together to make something stunning.

11 actors and myself for a day of shooting around Reykjavík culminating in the best shot of the day in the theatre itself. It was a pleasure to be asked to photograph this ensemble visiting from Poland.
