I have been to Iceland this summer…
This country is amazing… is just endless wild nature. There is a particular light there… I had to bring my camera with me all the time.
I worked with a fantastic model, Iris. We drove to Arnastapi, a small fishermen village north of Reykjavik. I was speechless during all the trip. I just wanted to stop the car every five minutes to take pictures.
We went near the coast, there were some amazing rocks and I asked Iris to climb them barefoot. She was brave enough to put her feet on some very sharp stones.
We moved to another location. The road was a desert, just few cars passing sometimes. I saw this beautiful mountain on the horizon and we just stopped the car in the middle of the road. I asked Iris to change clothes in the car… and when she was ready that road became a catwalk for her.
The shoot lasted six hours. It was half past midnight, Iris was freezing. But that was the moment I was expecting. The light in Iceland in the night. A dark cloudy blue sky…and my flash off-camera… and this was one of the last pictures I took…It was really cooold!
