Opening | Landscape
Welcome to the opening of the exhibition "Landscape“ at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography 27 February at 16:00-18:00. Light refreshments will be served. Free entry! “Landscape” opens at SKOTIÐ in 2026 — the second in a year long series of exhibitions by FÓKUS, the Amateur Photography Club. We Icelanders are fortunate to inhabit a land of striking natural beauty — a landscape shaped by contrasts, where raw geological force meets the quiet subtlety of simple forms. From the drama of rugged terrain to the stillness of night’s darkness, the Icelandic environment offers an endless spectrum of visual expression. The photographers explore these variations with their own distinct perspectives. Through their lenses, familiar landscapes are reimagined, revealing nuances of light, texture, and emotion that invite the viewer to experience Iceland anew. Photographers: • Guðjón Ottó Bjarnason • Gunnlaugur Júlíusson • Ingibjörg Óskarsdóttir • María Lóa Friðjónsdóttir • Óli Elvar Einarsson • Páll Þórir Daníelsson • Þorkell Sigvaldason Seven exhibitions. Forty-six photographers. One year of creativity. Follow along as we celebrate the passion and talent within Iceland’s amateur photography community.
