Ever been to the highlands? Soon, in just a few months, the highlands in the centre of Iceland will open up to us. The true wilderness of the island, where your navigation skills, endurance and grit will all be tested but instead you can get to enjoy
When that light hits just right. Winters in Iceland are cold and crazy but when we do get a break in the clouds that winter light is hard to beat. From our latest couple shoot, shot in late March in some very wintery conditions, especially that las
