My passion for photography started many years ago with food photography and advertising still life. But after a short time, I began to step outside my geographical boundaries and realized that traveling was my true calling. I arrived in Iceland almost 8 years ago among the many trips I made. It was love at first sight! After experiencing Iceland in 360 degrees and making four documentaries, my love for the glacier was born, where I became a guide and where I still live and work today.
