This photograph, taken in Iceland's breathtaking landscape, captures the essence of Icelandic nature and its extraordinary inhabitants. The close-up image shows the deep, expressive eye of an Icelandic horse, an animal synonymous with strength, grace and a deep connection to the rugged environment in which it lives.
The eye not only reflects the life of the horse itself, but also seems to capture the soul of the Icelandic landscape. The soft fur frames the eye, while the tousled mane that seems to be shaped by the wind symbolises the untamed beauty of Iceland. Every detail of this picture, from the subtle light to the texture of the fur, tells a story of survival and harmony with nature.
During a trip in 2022, I took this fine art picture while photographing a herd of Icelandic horses. Made at the Hestar frá laekjarteigi stable.
This photo is more than just a portrait; it is a work of art that invites reflection and admiration. It brings the viewer closer to the magic of Icelandic nature and its extraordinary animals. A timeless reminder of the pure simplicity and strength of one of the most fascinating places on earth.
