Hi, I’m Johann, a fine-art location photographer based in Iceland. I have lived here for most of my life and know the country, its landscapes and Reykjavík very well. Over the years, I have studied and practised many different styles of photography, but what I enjoy most is photographing people in Iceland’s unique landscapes and in carefully chosen locations around Reykjavík. I am always looking for that perfect image, so it is important to me to capture the right moment between you, your partner or your family and the surroundings. I pay close attention to the light, composition and background, making sure that you fit naturally into the scene. During a one-hour photo session, I may take more than a hundred photographs. Afterwards, I carefully select the best 20–30 images and professionally edit them in Adobe Lightroom before delivering them to you. My goal is simple: to create beautiful, natural photographs that you will be genuinely happy with and enjoy for many years to come.
I am a part of a choir in Iceland, and we played a part in a JCS (Jesus Christ Superstar) production at Harpa in Reykjavík, Iceland. I asked my friend Johann Smári to attend the dress rehearsal and feel free to take some photos. The outcome was amongst these 4 photos here on the site and many more outstanding shots, which we use on posters and ads for our choir. And on top of it, Jóhann Smári is a good man and nice to have around.
I have done a few photoshoots with Smári and always have had a great experience. He is a great photographer and has such a good eye for great locations for the kind of photoshoot I had in mind. I am always surprised at how good the photos come out. If you are looking for someone with great experience on the best places to take photos, have worked in many events and all around great at bringing art to life, through lenses, then Smári is your guy.
