Rakel Rún Garðarsdóttir

I'm an artist / photographer born and raised in Iceland, currently living in Reykjavík.
Trying to follow my passion and do what I enjoy, capturing art in Icelandic nature and around me. 

 

I completed a photography degree from The technical school of Reykjavík in the spring of 2020.

Photography style and thoughts

​

I think visual art is the right description for my photography style. Minimal and abstract art is one of my favorites. Maybe it has a little to do with my minimal lifestyle.

​

Art photography is in my opinion mostly about the feeling the photographer has ​captured, and what feeling it gives to the viewer.

Work

​

All my photographs are available for printing though there are only few of them in my print store. I do my own projects and currently working freelance work for the Icelandic magazines, "Gestgjafinn", "Hús&Híbýli" & Vikan.

 

​

Know me better

​

I was raised in a really small town named Hvammstangi, which has the population of around 500. 

​

I guess that being able to walk up one hill to be in the nature with my Icelandic horses, has a little to do with how my photography is today. Almost all of my creative thinking begin while I'm enjoying being in the Icelandic nature.
