About the Photoshoot

This image was captured in the early hours at Jokulsarlon, one of Iceland’s most iconic glacier lagoons. Arriving before sunrise, I waited in silence as the first light painted the sky in hues of lavender, rose, and gold. The moment was fleeting—the kind that rewards patience and presence. Icebergs, freshly calved from Breidamerkurjokull glacier, drifted slowly across the mirror-like surface, undisturbed by wind or tide. The scene felt untouched by time, filled with a quiet majesty that only Iceland’s glacial landscapes can offer.

About Jokulsarlon

Nestled at the edge of Vatnajokull National Park, Jokulsarlon is Iceland’s deepest lake and one of its most photogenic natural wonders. Formed by retreating glaciers, it’s constantly evolving, with new icebergs forming and drifting daily. These floating sculptures reflect the changing light and seasons—sometimes translucent blue, sometimes layered with ash from ancient volcanic eruptions. The lagoon connects directly to the sea, making it a meeting point of fresh ice and salty tides, often visited by seals and seabirds. It’s a place where the forces of fire and ice coexist in poetic balance.
