Noerthern Lights

Sigurdur H Stefnisson has been involved in photography since the age of 7. With photography as his number one hobby for almost 30 years he has specialized in nature photography, bird photography in particular. Other hobbies like hiking and exploring the highlands fit in nicely with his picture taking and provide opportunities to shoot in unique locations. His professional career is just the other side of the coin as he's been running his own photo lab since 1986 and is highly regarded among professional photographers many of whom have used his services extensively. Although Siggi isn't pursuing a professional career in photography he can easily hold his own against anybody as his photos of The Northern Lights clearly demonstrate. Working with medium format and using Pentax 67 system as his main weapon the technical quality of his work is on par with his professional standards.
In 1985 Siggi started to photograph The Northern Lights and has since developed techniques to capture this difficult to photograph phenomenon on film. For transport into difficult to reach places during winter he uses his Nissan specially modified super truck. The following show is but a small portion of Siggi's excellent work and he remains Iceland's foremost expert in photographing The Northern Lights.
I'm sure you'll enjoy his show. Jóhann Ísberg.
