FROZEN IN TIME

“Vestrahorn is an amazing location, and definitely one of my favorite places to photograph in Iceland. What makes it special for me, besides the inspiring, iconic shape of the mountain, is the extreme compositional flexibility offered by Vestrahorn. Landscapes, seascapes, sand dunes, reflections, sunrise, sunset – Vestrahorn has it all. After visiting it and photographing it dozens of times under any light, I got to such a level of familiarity with the location that I start creating my images in my mind, according to the weather conditions, before even getting out of the car. On this particular day, the weather was so cold that I wanted to convey the feeling of the landscape being completely frozen – and frozen in time as well. I expected to find frozen pools of water and frozen sand, and I did; when I found the perfect shape for my image, to completely freeze the movement of the clouds I decided for over three minutes of exposure. Vestrahorn was completely frozen, and frozen in time.” – Vieri
