Video Description

I didn’t come to Iceland with a big plan - just a van, a camera, and the hope that this would be an adventure to remember. In this cinematic solo travel film, I take you on a week-long journey through Iceland’s ever-changing landscape. From glacier lagoons and volcanic highlands to puffin cliffs and the world’s loneliest house in the Westman Islands, this was a trip about more than just capturing beautiful visuals. It was a personal checkpoint. A chance to slow down, reconnect with photography with the Sony A7R V, and reflect on where I’ve been - and where I’m going. Along the way, I revisited familiar places like Vestrahorn and Skogafoss, explored hidden gems like Sigöldugljúfur (the Valley of Tears), and experienced the surreal beauty of Langisjór from the sky. Filmed solo on the Sony FX3.
