Between two worlds
"Over the past decade, my career as a photographer has taken me to places I’d never dreamed I’d visit. Amongst them, are two that will always capture my creativity: London and Iceland."
"London was where I started out, I would spend hours walking around, capturing street style and searching out the best coffee shops, it’s a place that’s fast paced, unique, and one I’ll always gravitate back to. On my first trip to Iceland, I was captivated by the landscape and how you were at the mercy of the elements. The natural beauty that’s ever-changing, brings endless photographic opportunities."


"Last August I traveled from London to Iceland to visit the volcanic eruption in the Meradalir valley. It was a challenging hike that was rewarded by this epic new landscape. I’ve seen lots of volcanic eruptions in the media, but to witness it in person was a completely different experience. In conditions like this, you don’t want to be thinking about whether your gear’s good enough; I was thankful to be wearing the Hornstrandir jacket, an essential part of my kit that has accompanied me on shoots around the world. I paired it with the Snæfell polartec trousers and Vatnajökull insulated jacket so the only thing I had to worry about was whether I had enough space left on my memory card."
"Through this film, I wanted to share my love for these two places and how the versatility of 66 North’s clothing can accompany you wherever your travels take you."
