I’m of true Viking blood (the gentle kind!), born and raised in Reykjavik, Iceland Went to America at the age of 22 to study photography and finished my BFA degree there After graduation I went to NYC to work as an assistant in photo studios. Which I didn’t like. Started my own photo business shortly after I came home from USA Happily married for more than 20 years. I know the secret to a happy marriage; just say “Yes dear" I’ve photographed weddings since 2010 My first photo exhibition was entitled “New York, New York”. With images from, not surprisingly, New York. My photo gear of choice is Canon for cameras and Profoto for lighting I don’t know anything about cars I’m a rock’n’roll fan I don’t like going to the gym I love to travel My coffee of choice is Americano Although I love chocolate I don’t like chocolate ice cream A perfect night would be a steak and redwine with a good group of friends In my youth I spent every summer on a farm, mowing hay and chasing sheep. Don’t like sheep too much since My wife or kids sometimes accompany me on a wedding shoot as assistants I’m a terrible cook I believe in women’s rights and gay/lesbian rights I shot mostly editorial photography for many years, mostly for Icelandic magazine but also sometimes for foreign publications I’ve shot for publications like The Forbes magazine, Wall Street Journal, the Wallpaper and many more I’ve had several one man exhibits and participated in many group shows A documentary fine art project of mine was shown in a small New York gallery in 2016. When shooting wedding ceremonies or receptions I try to stay in the background but when I shoot the bridal portraits I take charge Every couple I’ve ever photographed like the way I guide them during bridal portraits Moms of the brides and grooms adore me I love to shoot people in landscape I’m 6,4” (196 cm) which has made my life so much easier so many times I was a financial manager and accountant for a small company before I decided to change course and follow my dream to become a photographer My website for my commercial/fine art work is at www.bragi.is
