41 Pictures Of Captivating Nordic Nature That I Took When I Moved To Iceland

Community member Publish Not your original work? Add source Growing up in the beautiful country of Switzerland, I never really was into nature photography. I was almost blind to the beauty that I called home. Somehow I always knew I would move somewhere else one day. I always felt drawn to the Nordic countries and Iceland was on my "want to visit one-day" list. At one point my boyfriend and I decided to go and visit Iceland for a month and see if it could potentially be our new home. We immediately fell in love with the raw and moody landscapes. And the rest is history! As soon as we got back, we sold all of our stuff, became minimalists, quit our jobs and moved to Iceland. Fascinated by details and minimalism, I am found most of my spare time capturing the atmospheric landscapes of Iceland. Here are a few pictures I've taken so far! Enjoy.

Since moving here I started my own multi-media company which is called Caldera Studios. Where I shoot products for mainly skincare brands on location and in my home studio. This is something I would have never dared to do living in Switzerland because you just get too comfortable in a "normal" environment. #2 Report Final score: 58points Lesley Brügger POST TheAquarius1978 TheAquarius1978 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 weeks ago Its On my bucket list of places to visit, and very high on that list for that matter. 3 3points reply View More Replies...

It looks like an illustration out of Lord of the Rings. 0 0points reply Something that often is forgotten, is the amount of time that goes into each shot. There's a lot of traveling and preparation involved behind the scenes, which you don't often get to see. More than often I went on beautiful trips but came back home empty-handed because of the quality of light or weather conditions. The editing process can also take a lot of time, sometimes it's a quick edit and it's "perfect", but every so often it takes many hours behind the screen to match my vision with the image. #4 Report Final score: 51points Lesley Brügger POST CookieNeerrrrd CookieNeerrrrd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 3 years ago That doesn't even look real! wow!!! 3 3points reply View More Replies...

What really keeps me going is the joy photography brings me, and how it helps me to get out of my head so I can solely focus on the moment I want to capture. #6 Report Final score: 46points Lesley Brügger POST #7 Report Final score: 43points Lesley Brügger POST CookieNeerrrrd CookieNeerrrrd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 3 years ago Woah!

View more comments My favorite shot always changes depending on my mood, but at the moment I really enjoy the one with a house furthest away from the camera, here. I took that photo about 2 years ago on a sunny day in late autumn, the daylight was already getting scarce and this was one of those days where I thought I wouldn't get any good shots because of the harsh light. Right after we decided to drive back home the light became super soft and glowy so we stopped in the middle of the road to capture it. #8 Report Final score: 40points Lesley Brügger POST Alexandria Z Alexandria Z Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 weeks ago Edge of the world.

Beautiful! 1 1point reply View more comments The most challenging part about photography is keeping up and trying to be the best yourself while maintaining good quality, especially on social media. Where the value of a single shot isn't really valued much anymore and just lasts a mere second and a quick like. Feel free to come by and say hi on my Instagram for my landscape photography.

This is a post processing masterclass. I used to do lots of work in that black and white dreamy landscape style but I wasn't this polished, and I never could figure out how to do it with colour like your boat photo. I love how you actually make things like a telephoto closeup of a waterfall work. That's seriously impressive because 99.9% of people could be told to make that exact same style photo and it would be boring as shit. 10 10points reply Lesley Brügger (Post author) Lesley Brügger Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 3 years ago Wow, thank you for this compliment !!
