OUR ICELAND GUIDE

IBAN RIU

Iceland Guide

The yearning to discover new cultures led me to discover parts of the world but also, at the same time, to deepen the knowledge and diffusion of my country: Catalonia. Result of natural evolution as photographer and still learning from different disciplines today I combine several works on travel, landscape, reportage, portrait .. What motivates me is the reason, but try to capture photos simple but vivid, compositionally rich and interesting documentary.

About Iceland: one of my favorite places in this world. I have been there seven times, that will be the eight. Biking, driving, alone or with friends, in Summer or Winnter, raining or sunny, etc... Iceland it is always a magic island and always has a new magic things to offer. Since a long time ago, I am working in a Photo compilation about Iceland.
