An Escape Above the World
Another place in Iceland that felt absolutely surreal—and one I had been so eager to visit! The road to get there was definitely the longest and wildest I’ve ever taken. My back will probably remember it forever, haha! The weather kept changing by the minute, so we had to face whatever came our way: wind, rain, muddy paths, slippery stairs..
But above all that, the hardest part was communicating with the dog’s owner, who was so far away from me. I wanted to photograph the dog on that mountain, but giving directions meant going all the way down and then back up again to explain what I needed based on what I saw from my vantage point. It was such a challenge—but they did incredibly well, and the final image turned out exactly as I had imagined. In this particular shot, I made the dog appear larger than in reality, just to emphasize the feeling of presence in that vast landscape.
