Dani Guindo captures otherworldly aerial photos of Iceland in “Trails” – Huge
From the sky, Iceland’s mountains, lava fields, glacial streams and Arctic vegetation form a world that contrasts sharply. For Dani Guindo track Set up unique scenery with recognizable objects: a small plane. “I want the audience to have both a size and a disoriented feeling, inviting them to recognize what they see twice before they recognize what they see,” he told The Giant.
Originally from southern Spain, Guindo has been in Reykjavík since 2016, attracted by the pristine beauty, dramatic geology and northern light of the island country. “What excites me most about shooting here is how continuous changes, light, weather and seasons transform the same location into a whole new scene,” he said.
From above, Iceland’s tidal inlets and streams emit turquoise from glacier powder, a fine silt sand of glacier flour when grinds with rocks, or creates cow bows and natural rivets that are almost completely abstract when viewed vertically. “My air work is mainly captured using drones, which allows me to abstract views and patterns that are invisible from the ground,” Guindo said.
Prints can be purchased on his website, where you can also book a photography tour with his company Arctic Travel. Explore more about Behance and Instagram.
