Iceland - Land of Fire & Ice

Peak Volcanik

Vatnajökull - Iceland - A fantastic journey by snowmobile on top of Vatnajökul glacier to reach this point and the breath taking views downward.

Higher Lands

WINNER SHOT OF THE KENDAL MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL 2019 PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION Landmannalaugar - Highlands Traveling through the Icelandic highlands brings so much serenity. A place where every turn and corner is different and unique. . A place where you discover shapes out of this world, colorful mountains, and giants all around you. . A place to get lost.

Lost In Loupine

Langjokull Glacier Edge - Iceland - One of the sunniest summer in decades in Iceland. Lupine flowers are blooming and sun is shining over the edge of Langjokull glacier showing a white horizon; an ocean of ice.. just incredible! Summer sounds promising !

Emeraude Bleue

Bruarfoss Waterfall - Iceland - No words to describe this jewell of Iceland. A long exposure taken after midnight.

Camp Asleep

Mýrdalsjökull Glacier - Þakgil - Hitting the right place when the world around you is sleeping. Every tent is shut, and the campground is into pitch silent. You only hear the wind cruising throught the crazy rock holes and your own foot steps through the dirt path. It is here 4.45AM.

Rise From The Deep

Published late January 2020 in Ársrit Íslenska Alpaklúbbsins 2019. -The Annual magazine of the Icelandic Alpine club - cornerstone of the alpine and climbing community in Iceland since the 70's. Photo Winner of ISALP Photography Competition - Category "Mannlíf á fjöllum" - Human Life in the Mountains with the capture "Eternal" ---------------------- Vatnajökull National Park Hanging deep in this bottomless moulin, shooting from below, this shot brought me such an incredible experience photographing. The conditions were hard, hanging low on an uncomfortable position, ice particles falling down on me and my gears, i was trying to keep my balance with one hand, holding the ice axe jammed in the ice wall in front of me and shooting with the other one. i was hoping for a rewarding shot after this mission, and here it is. Glaciers look crazy from above and even more amazing from inside.

Skull Tones

Eastfjords - Iceland

Black Three White

Þakgil - Can you find the three black and three white sheeps ? Working on gradient of green and depth, to enhance the immensity of the area.

Light Season

Haifoss - The aurora season has started ! A banger from last night, September 2nd, in front of this amazing wonder of Iceland. Such a beautiful show nature gave us, with incredible fast movements. A great way to start the northern light season

12 O'clock Falls

Bruarfoss Waterfall - Iceland - It is past midnight, and we walk all the way up the river to reach this breath taking area. Once on spot we discovered how the river is concentrated into a deep crevice that runs through the centre of dark volcanic rock formations. This creates sky-blue rapids and cherry on the cake; a golden sky to bring the right light. Here is the bridge falls.

Awaiting

Southern Iceland - Sit on a rock, i have spent four hours waiting for this great light to come, and capture this detailed shot of that unknown paradise. Staring at white birds gliding through the steep walls and white sheep feeding on inaccessible grounds makes you realize how vaste and huge is this green heaven.

Shine The Night

Hofn - Iceland - One of my favourite spot to shoot in Iceland. Taken about 11pm, the light that comes from behind the shapes are simply unique.

Shelly Morning

Hvitserkur - Iceland -

In Darker Skies

Þakgil - With an area near enough unpopulated and less than two inhabitants per square kilometer, the southern sides of Iceland show dark, and volcanic landscapes like nowhere else. An oasis for luminous green flora and towering walls covered in moss on the arms of Mýrdalsjökull glacier.

Shade Of Ice

Glacier Lagoon - Iceland - Kayaking through the Icebergs is simply an adventure incredible. Camera in my hands, i felt so much pleasure shooting these amazing shapes changing days after days, following the currents of salty and fresh waters.

Emerging Face

Southern Iceland - An amazing 6am hike in some of the most incredible breath taking place in south Iceland. Dark sky and lighter clouds to balance the colours of these rock formations.

Mind The Gap

Langjokull - Few hours snowmobiling on Langjokull glacier preparing the track, looking for nasty but incredible moulins and crevaces. A place from another planet going deep under ground

Night Lost

Langjokull Glacier Edge - I drove past this glacier many times for work or photography, and always wondered what was at the end of this tiny gravel road going west toward the ice fronts. A desert drive of an hour long with simply nothing around you. Black gravels and dark grey ashy rock formations, leading to this upper lake, base of the actual glacier, and a waterfall announcing the beginning of the first streams heading toward the sea. A reward to check out this place at midnight and capture the sweetest colour palette.
