Iceland from the Air is a captivating series of photographs that offers unique aerial perspectives of Iceland. Captured over several trips, working closely with one of the country’s top filming helicopter pilots, these images are part of Philip Clemo’s Breath Project – a visual journey that maps human life through the metaphor of landscape. This collection was brought to life in collaboration with acclaimed British photographer Colin Gray.
In Iceland From the Air, dive into the mesmerizing forms, intricate textures, and profound abstraction of the Icelandic landscape. From the deep fissures slicing into the world’s third-largest glacier, Vatnajökull, to the vibrantly-colored volcanic craters and expansive scars of lava fields; from the misty spray of Europe’s mightiest waterfalls to the intricate threadlike patterns of river deltas stretching across Reynisfjara's black sands – this collection promises a visual feast.
