Iceland Round 2

I really wanted to get someone from Iceland on the project, as it is, in my opinion one of the most scenic and beautiful places in the entire world.  I follow two photographers form Iceland on my Flickr, so I contacted them both, expecting to increase my chances of securing at least one of them for the project.  Both contacts accepted the invite.  So Tony Prower did his time with the glass and then met up in Reykjavík with the next photographer Lárus Sigurðarson and made a manual, postal service free handover.

Here is a recent image created by Lárus



and a few words from the man himself.

My name is Lárus Sigurðarson, but I usually go by "Lalli Sig".  I am full time professional freelance photographer living in Iceland.  I mostly photograph people, both for advertisements and fashion but also for private parties, like weddings and traditional portraiture.  I am 35 years old and was quite late to getting into photography, I didn´t even own a camera until I was 22 years old, and got my first DSLR in 2003.  I am what you could call a "digital photographer", film has never really interested me, I tried it for a short period but it wasn´t my style.  I have been working full time as a photographer since 2006, and now I am mostly interested in photographing people, but I occasionally photograph landscape and other subjects just to "mix it up" a little bit.  I both shoot in the studio and outdoors and love getting out in the Icelandic nature, making the most of living here in this exotic landscape.
