From the first shot in Iceland, I felt such a strong obligation to faithfully capture the sheer vastness of the panoramic views belonging to a land that truly felt like a different planet. Beaches of smooth polished black sand, an endless landscape of sharp lava rocks covered with a soft bed of thick moss and lakes fed endlessly by a never-ending glacier forming hulking icebergs presented a scenery which looked more like a CGI-ed or Photoshopped backdrop.
As my photographic interests have never been in pure landscape photography but more in contextual portraits, I sought to create a story about fictitious inhabitants of this landscape, taken as epic, surreal snapshots of them appearing naturally within their home, at times unaware of a camera.
Each image is shot using normal / telephoto lenses but made from 20-35 stitched images to achieve a wide image without the distance distortion of a wide-angle lens.

Amazing photograph, the contrast between the woman and the landscape is like an erotic dream.
