After gaining a BA (Hons) degree in photography, film, and animation from the University for the Creative Arts, Surrey, and an MA degree from The Royal College of Art, London, I have worked for various clients doing movies and theater stills, advertising, and editorial photography but I have always enjoyed experimental photography and have recently started making and exhibiting Cyanotype prints.
'Oceans in the Age of Humans', my latest work, highlights the close relationship between the ocean’s smallest and largest creatures, phytoplankton and whales.
‘Phytoplankton’ limited edition series of Cyanotype prints premiered at PhotoLondon in May 2010, addressing the pressing subject of marine pollution and the inherent beauty of the planet’s simple life forms.
'Thoughts of home' is a series of images that expresses nostalgia for my Icelandic homeland. The images are poetic symbols of everyday Iceland with a more practical underlying function; the majestic waterfalls are also sources of hydroelectric power, the sweet-scented wild growing Angelica as the elixir of life and the first sight of the Golden Plover heralding the end of a long winter.
My series; 'Underwater Wonders' celebrates life in the oceans and 'Tip of the Iceberg' is a series of photographs of Icebergs and Ice structures in Iceland, highlighting the burning issue of the effects of global warming on the icecaps and life in the northern hemisphere.
Films: I am passionate about filmmaking and have worked as a writer and director, script continuity, and stills photographer on numerous productions:

I am first and foremost hugely passionate about nature and the interconnectedness of all living things on our beautiful planet.
Being of dual nationality, Icelandic / British, I work in both countries.
