My life through the lens...

The lens is my friend. I like people, I like my life, I like the camera. Whether it´s capturing and conveying emotions, situations or information, the camera and the lens is the perfect creative tool. Everything is a point of view.

I´m a 22 year old boy from Akureyri, living in downtown Reykjavik. I study production/direction at the Icelandic Film Academy. My hobbies include video, theater, technology, philosophy, food, photography of course and much much more.

I use mostly Fuji films.

Most of my films are developed at Pedromyndir, Iceland's finest lab. I am a member of ÁLKA, the Akureyri Amateur Photgraphers Club, and make use of their studio, darkroom and scanning equipment. I use a MacBook Pro and Aperture for most of my editing, some images I take to Photoshop for further tweaking.
