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. 


Showcasing their work in the second series are as follows:

- Guðjón Ottó Bjarnason
- Gunnlaugur Júlíusson
- Ingibjörg Óskarsdóttir
- María Lóa Friðjónsdóttir
- Óli Elvar Einarsson
- Páll Þórir Daníelsson
- Þorkell Sigvaldason

There will be a total of seven exhibitions, each with a different theme. Forty-six photographers will participate, and each exhibition will run for six weeks. Members were invited to take part in a survey where they could indicate which themes they would like to see featured. The following themes received the most votes:


- **Movement** 9 January – 22 February
- **Landscape** 27 February – 12 April
- **Winter scenes** 17 April – 31 May
- **Abstract** 5. June – 19 July
- **Street scenes** 24 July – 13 September
- **B/W** 18 September – 1 November
- **Water** 6 November – 31 December


Many of the members participating in these exhibitions have been part of the association for a long time, while others are taking their first steps in exhibiting their work. A passion for photography is the foundation of the group. Quite a few members have pursued photography education through courses both in Iceland and abroad. Some members are students at the Iceland School of Photography, while others are fully qualified photographers from the Technical College.
