Iceland is a place where magic exists. Amidst violent winds and unpredictable weather, there is peace to be found in the landscape and serenity that blossoms out of the chaos. I have found that taking photographs here is more about letting the beauty come to you rather than pushing too hard. It is more about feeling, being still, remaining silent while the winds whip around you and the skies darken to black above you. My love for Iceland feels personal in many ways as a place that inspired me to take more dramatic photos that required more from me as an artist than simply clicking buttons in stunning places. These otherworldly views are the place that I really learned what it means to be an artist, not just good with a camera.
