Who is Birta Rán?

 

I started shooting back in 2004 when my dad bought a digital camera for the family.

I really was the only member of the family who used it so it automatically became "mine".

I started out on DeviantART, posting grunge selfportraits and photos but I stopped using dA when I started out on Flickr.

I posted my first photo on Flickr on the 23 of September back in 2006.

I mostly shoot people portraits or fashion portraits and bands playing live instead of nature, although I enjoy nature I can't really capture it in a way I would like to. I really enjoy surrealism and would love to put more of that into my fashionesque photography.

 

I lived in a small town called Borgarnes, an hour drive from the capital but I have been living in Reykjavík since October 2012.

Guð minn almáttugur, ef hún bara fæddist ekki með myndavélina í vinstri, ljósin sín í þeirri hægri og make up í andlitinu þá veit ég ekki hvað, hún er algjör snillingur. Hvort sem hun er að taka sjálfsmyndir eða af módelum, allt sem kemur frá hen… Read more

Okei, ætla skrifa einn á íslensku um hana Birtu. Hvar á ég að byrja? Guð minn almáttugur, ef hún bara fæddist ekki með myndavélina í vinstri, ljósin sín í þeirri hægri og make up í andlitinu þá veit ég ekki hvað, hún er algjör snillingur. Hvort sem hun er að taka sjálfsmyndir eða af módelum, allt sem kemur frá henni er "instant fav". Endilega hættu að skoða testimonals, farðu og skoðaðu þessar frábæru myndir. Kv. Jón Kr.
