Travel Journal - Iceland

October 2018

I lift my mind to the sky
And I let it take flight
The wind carries to my ears
Precious sound of life
Soon I break all ties
Which bind me to this earth
All that surrounds me seems to melt
Into the blue eternal
— "Higher" by Ásgier

In 2016 I had the opportunity to visit Iceland for a university credit. My classmates and I travelled across the west coast and into the west fjords. We witnessed the midnight sun, relaxed in hot springs, got a tour of an old herring factory in Djúpavík, and took many photos.

The trip made such a huge impact on me that I returned with my dad in 2018. The two of us drove around the country together, following the Ring Road (a.k.a. Route 1). We captured some fantastic photos and grew closer as we experienced rapidly changing weather and absolutely breathtaking light. Here are some of my favourite photos from both of those trips.

If you’re interested in more of my Iceland photography, I have a photo book available for purchase! Your choice of either softcover or hardcover; 84 pages, printed 8“ x 10” on white uncoated, 105 g/m² matte paper.

Check out the book and other limited-edition prints in my store:
