Iceland is a country of contrasts, black sands, white glaciers, green fields and swirling lava. In addition, the ever-changing weather with powerful cloud cover adds to the magnificence of the country.

These conditions are ideal for black and white photography where light, landscape and clouds play together. This interaction creates strong and dramatic images, images that attract attention and look good on the wall.

ICM means "Intentional camera movement." This technique involves capturing an image in a single shot while moving the camera to create a dreamy texture. The result varies based on the shutter speed, the speed at which the camera is moved, and the direction of movement. Typically,
minimal post-processing is required.

Iceland presents a striking array of natural contrasts. Expansive black sands dominate much of the highlands and much of the southern coastline. Rising from these plains, white glaciers create a dramatic visual against the blue sky. Numerous geothermal areas across the country display a wide spectrum of colors. While greenery is present, Iceland lacks substantial forested regions.

The climate further accentuates these contrasts, with frequent occurrences of cold, overcast skies and pervasive grey fog.

Sigrún Kristjánsdóttir was born in 1961. She grew up on a farm in the western part of Iceland. She showed an early interest in photography and got her first camera at eleven. The landscape in the countryside influenced her artistic creation over the years. She had the sea, mountains, rock, hills and peat around her. When she started taking photographs seriously, nature in Iceland fascinated her. In photography, the most interesting thing is to capture the great variations in the landscape, express the beauty in colors and light, and capture what doesn't come back, like clouds.
