5 Perspectives

The breathtaking versatility of Iceland, with its vast wealth of motifs, has captivated me as a photographer for many years. Over time, this has raised the question of how I can not only capture this diversity but also present it in an appealing way.

To achieve this goal, I developed a concept based on using five different photographic interpretations – five perspectives. This creates the photographic challenge of moving within these perspectives, which serve as guidelines, and constantly deciding how a motif can best be showcased within this framework. At the same time, it provides the viewer with a clear and comprehensible structure, demonstrating how differently a motif can be interpreted photographically.

The five perspectives I have chosen are:

• Black and white
• Shapes and structures
• Repetition
• Abstract
• Four elements

For each of these perspectives, I have selected a limited number photographs to optimally highlight the essence and diversity of Icelandic motifs. Therefore, this project not only offers a visual journey through Iceland but also a deeper insight into the various possibilities of photographic interpretation.
