Fresh outta Reykjavik pt1.

I would love to write some intellectual, witty and nonsensical paragraph to trick everyone into thinking that I am better with words than I actually am. I would love for you to think that I am a talented writer as well as a talented photographer. I would love to write that I would love to have permanent hair removal in certain areas of my body without feeling metrosexual. I would love it if people actually read the bullshit that I wrote. I would love for the advertising agency that does all the media for Bik Bok and Vero Moda to call me up and ask me if I would like to shoot their winter catalogue. The fact of the matter is that it doesn't work like this.

Unfortunately every now and then I have to put some effort in. Right now there are 1000 different things going on that I need to put effort into. I think I've spent more time contemplating which one of these things to jump onto and run with that I have run out of time to complete some of them. There are endless things I could fill up my day with that lead to absolute 0 productivity. I have been "overly-productive" the last couple of weeks, I know this because I feel strained and exhausted at the moment. I cant bare to look at another set of pictures in Lightroom. 

On the other hand though, I am fizzing to get these pictures out and show the world what I can do given the right tools. I can create, I can develop, I can express, I can experiment, I can play.
The following set of pictures was an impulsive trip to Reykjavik. Fuelled by energy, love, warmth and friendship. I have to give an ENORMOUS shout out to my crew over the days I was working there.

Arnar Gauti - The man making the fashion scene in Iceland work. You are a visionary and it is an honour to call you a friend.

Johanna PĂ„lsdottir - My mom away from home. What more can I say? Most heartfelt thanks for everything.

Agnes Gudmundsdottir - None of this would have happened without your input. You're a gem. Best of luck in Paris.

Birgitta Asbjornsdottir - My go to woman in Iceland for almost everything. These pictures would not be what they are without you. Fashion stylist of note.

Astridur Gisladottir - Your touch on everything was the cherry on the cake. Thank you for all the time you put in to this. 

Maria Run, Kristin Lilja, Nicola Valda and Una Rikey. - The models from Elite Models Iceland. Thank  you for your patience whilst I dug out the car that I got stuck and the humor at 4AM. 

I'll be seeing all of you guys soon. Much love, N.

And here are my pictures, yeah, thats right, no more bullshit, here they are. And yes, you can have your hammer back, cuz I nailed it. N.
