Siglufjörður is a remote village. It is a narrow fjord surrounded by steep mountains. Siglufjörður is rarely mentioned until the mid-19th century, when it began to develop into a village. On the other hand, the location does have its advantages. For centuries, it had been surrounded by precious natural resources, particularly in the ocean. It was a short distance from rich fishing grounds, often stocked with cod and herring.

I teach image (and techniques related to photography) as a trainer, consultant and professor at the university and in Parisian schools I was twice a finalist in the prestigious Hasselblad Master Competition (20012 and 2018). My photographs have been exhibited in Brazil, Japan, Hungary, UK, India, Italy and Russia. The Art trop Gallery represents me in France My photographic work revolves around solitudes.
