Faces of RVK

At the end of 2016, I went to Reykjavík for my longest stay to date. I decided to do a “stranger” project in order to rejuvenate my dormant photography, and to see if I could get to know and meet some locals.

 

Below are twelve portraits of some cool Reykvíkingurs. They range from brewer and writer to chef and radio personality. Some are famous, and some are not. But all were kind enough to let me take up their time with good humor. A few will have crossed the threshold from strangers, and I hope to be in able to see them when I return to Reykjavík again.

 

Thank you, all.
