The road to Gjógv

The Faroe Islands are car commercial paradise. Road after winding road, perfect for showing off the capabilities of all types of vehicles.

Here’s a photograph from Flateyri two summers ago. The sun was bright as can be and I wanted to freeze Maggie mid-jump to created the floating look you see. Fast shutter, stopped down to 4.5, and a low ISO to make everything extra crisp.

Happiest of birthdays to my wonderful wife! Super lucky that I dropped some rolls off at the local film shop this week and got back one of the most incredible photos of her I have taken. Just in time to post it for her birthday. She’s an incredible human, mother, and partner.

ROF by Sveinbjörg Þórhallsdóttir

Halla Þórðardóttir danced this piece beautifully the other night. I was in the audience, photographing from a stationary seat as were the constraints of the gig, working as the Reykjavík Dance Festival’s photographer for the 5th year in a row. Sometimes I am able to watch run-throughs and move around and other times, I have to get the right seat so that I can make the most of the show while not interrupting the enjoyment of others. This was a mighty task, as the music was not the loudest and lighting was on the dim side. Still, the above photo is one of my favourites from this past iteration of the festival.

On a recent commission I was discussing with the client the various little things that I appreciate in interior photographs that contribute to a more natural look of a space. In the above, that includes leaving the books on the kitchen counter that were recently purchased and left in a convenient spot to be read over morning coffee. They had a nice look to them and contribute to the feeling that this is a home, not a rental space meant to be lived in like a hotel. Often a little bit of controlled chaos is the answer to question, “does it look too sterile?”
