Conditions for the shoot could not have been more perfect. The sunset skies reflected perfectly on the river, which snaked through a valley torn in an otherwise verdant lava landscape. This composition is a perfect reflection of Iceland’s nature, fueled by a dozen waterfalls and surrounded by the silhouettes of distant peaks. From the precipice I shot from, the view over the entire scene was breathtaking, with the river in the foreground gently leading the eye against its flow, up the waterfalls, and to the mountains and heavens above.
