There are many churches in Iceland and many of them in a small and beautiful building. Unlike majority other churches in Iceland that are made from wood, Hvalsneskirkja Church is built from stone in 1886 - 1887 in a scenic field with a serene atmosphere and an old graveyard. It's located a few minutes drive from Keflavík International Airport on the Reykjanes Peninsula. I felt the serenity in the location and witnessed the beautiful peace atmosphere of Hvalsneskirkja Church. I set up my tripod and camera and took a shot in minimalist black and white photography.

I am a photography enthusiast with genre of landscape (color & black and white), fine art black and white and human interest. Although I started to make a photo since analog camera and mostly for family documentation, I started to focus on landscape photography since 2016 and human interest photography since Sep 2021. I am so passionate with photography because photography is an art that I can enjoy for myself and also for other people who love with photography.
