About me
I am an artist based in Iceland. For the last few years, I have been exploring photography as an art platform. I am currently studying at School of Photography in Reykjavik. I frequently use myself as a mannequin and create characters as a way to recreate thought processes. My works are my platform to interpret the notion I have of myself and the world I exist in. Each photograph is at the same time an extension of the past, the things that shape me and what I have learned, as well as glimpse into the future I go towards.
My Process
I usually write my ideas and sketch them in a sketchbook, how I want to shoot it, the lighting, the colors, costumes and compositions. Then I take a test shot and if that goes well I do a final shoot. If it doesn't I start again from the beginning. I often do two to three shoots to get the shot I want. When I am happy with the results I process the photos in Lightroom and Photoshop. I always feel like I am painting when I process them and love that part of creating a work. That part can take many hours depending on the idea. After processing is done the most fulfilling thing of the whole process is the printing. Choosing high quality paper and seeing the work come to life is just amazing.
All my works are giclée prints on fine art paper.
