This is the time of the year when I take a break from my daily job and head somewhere cold to do a bit of landscape shooting. The current situation, however, forced me to revise my original plans - instead, I decided to take a trip back to Iceland lying deep inside my hard disk.

Iceland left me spellbound when I first visited in 2009. I have been coming every year since, up until 2013. Don’t get me wrong here, my passion for the simple, moon-like design of its landscape has not faded at all. To me, it is somewhat less of a traditional landscape and more of a workspace that can be perfectly decomposed into shapes, structures, lines, patterns and tones. The reason I stopped returning was the enormous hype for photographing the country and its famous spots, apparently fuelled by spectacular images on every social media around. See the stats - in 2009, only 493,000 touris ..read more
