Icelandic lamb

Gunnar recently embarked on a captivating project for Icelandic Lamb, delving deep into the heart of Iceland’s rugged highlands. In the serene and untouched landscapes of Landmannaafrétt, near the famous Landmannalaugar region, Gunnar set out to capture the traditional sheep gathering, an event rich in cultural heritage and communal spirit.

This project aimed to showcase the unique bond between the Icelandic people and their land, highlighting the annual gathering of sheep from the highlands – a practice steeped in tradition. Gunnar, with his keen eye for detail and profound connection to Icelandic nature, was the perfect candidate to document this event.

Through his lens, Gunnar brought to life the vibrant yet challenging process of herding sheep in the vast, open landscapes of Landmannaafrétt. His photographs beautifully conveyed the essence of this age-old tradition, focusing on the interaction between the shepherds and their flocks amidst the backdrop of Landmannalaugar's stunning scenery.

Gunnar’s work for Icelandic Lamb not only captures the beauty of this annual event but also tells a story of resilience, community, and the deep-rooted connection Icelanders have with their land and livestock. His photography serves as a vivid reminder of Iceland’s enduring traditions and the timeless landscapes that continue to shape them.
