Editor’s Note:  If you ask any passionate landscape photographer what their dream location is, I’m fairly certain the majority of them would probably say Iceland.  For those who might be wondering why, then let this incredible photograph be your answer – I for one, cannot take my eyes off it!

In September 2008 I was on a one week trip through Iceland with four guys from an independent ‘brand communications’ company from the UK, plus three Icelandic guides. The goal was to shoot a one minute commercial for Canon Europe, and take some stunning landscape photos along the way. After flying from Berlin to Keflavik, I took another flight with a small propeller-driven plane to go even further north, to Isafjordhur. There we met and started our tour of northern Iceland, during which we traveled across the country in two 4×4 cars. From the northern fjords we drove for days through the wild highlands on unpaved roads and through some rapid streams, south to the coastal lowlands.

Back from Iceland!

After flying to Isafjordhur via Reykjavik on Sunday 31/08/2008 the adventure started in the northern fjords of Iceland with a little boat scene. On the second day we drove into the wild and through the highlands of Iceland. We saw Godafoss, Galcier Bay, awesome beaches near Vik, Skogafoss, Geysir, Blue Lagoon and lots of other very remote and impressive locations. Finally arrived back at Reykjavik on Friday night, I flew back to Germany on Saturday in the early morning. Resumed it was a very fascinating and impressing but even so a very exhausting trip through Iceland. More details, photos and of course the film will follow.
