I'm an pro landscape and nature photagrapher. I offer photo tours and photo guidance. I also publish photo books and usually have one photo exhibition every year were the subject is Icelandic landscape and nature. I started taking pictures 2007, first I bought Canon 400D and 2010 I upgraded to 50D. Spring 2012 I upgraded again my camera to 5D Mark III and again in autumn 2016 to 5DM4. I was living in the north part of Iceland, Skagafjörður where I was surrounded with beautiful nature and landscape for seven years, 2005-2012. I had my first exhibition in summer 2009 in Hofsós, Skagafjörður. Since then I have had several exhibitions alone or with others. In the spring 2011 I published a photobook; Light and Nature of Skagafjörður. Included with the photobook is a CD with my wife Alexandra Chernyshova. In December 2013 I published my second photobook "Light and Nature of North west". Now I live in Keflavik where I operate my photographic business - photo tours, photo guidance and publication.

Hvalfjordur / Whalefjord

Hvalfjörður (Whale-fjord) is situated in west Iceland between Mosfellsbær and Akranes. The fjord is approximately 30 km long and 5 km wide. It is around a 40 minute drive from downtown Reykjavík. The name is derived from the large number of whales which could be found and caught here. The only whaling stations in Iceland is still located in this fjord. In the past the fjord also contained a large number of herring fisheries. During World War II, a naval base of the British and American navies could be found in this fjord. One of the piers built by the United States Navy is today used by the

Seljalandsfoss surrounded with Northern lights

Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is situated between Selfoss and Skógafoss, where Route 1 (the Ring Road) meets the track going to Þórsmörk. 130km from Reykjavík and 1,5 hour drive. This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to walk behind the waterfall. Photographing the waterfall in the night during wintertime when the northern lights are visual is a difficult work. Even though the waterfall is lid up with strong lights the spray of water makes the ground and the hills

The Milky Way in Iceland

Shooting the Milky Way in Iceland From September when the nights get dark you can look for the Milky Way galaxy and try to capture it with your camera. Photographing the milky way is a good option when the northern lights are not visual or very weak.

Usually my setting on the camera are for 30sec, f/2.8 and the lens as wide as possible and the ISO from 6400 till 12800.

Bloodred sunset in the North

Summer sunsets in the north west part of Iceland are unique, you can see the sun go down or the sun rise up again at the horizon and colour the sky and the clouds above you in blood red colour.

You can also see in the background the island Drangey and Malmey. Four horses standing in the midnight sun in Skagafjordur. You can find horses everywhere in the north, they are very friendly and great to bring life to your picture. The magical rock "Hvítserk
