donald_ingram1 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 <p>I was up in Reykjavik a couple of weeks ago, and had a good look through Ragnar Axelsson's book 'Faces of the north' - it really stood out from the crowd of Icelandic landscape photo books. I was impressed and bought a copy</p> <p>Some truly inspiring Leica M photographs from Iceland, Greenland and the Faeroes here <a href="http://www.rax.is/Index.htm"> http://www.rax.is/Index.htm. </a> Classic Tri-X and Leica M stuff</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.th Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 of course it stood out, it isn't a landscape photo book.,.. well, u know. i tend to think of him more as a photographer though, than a user of a certain german camera brand.... ,-) <br><br> seriously, the book is very very good.

stuart_richardson Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 The last time I was in Iceland, I saw a few of his photos up -- there is a large one of his on display at dikta. I love his photographs, but I wish he would go a little easier on the dodging/ burning in a few of his pictures. Otherwise, I love his stuff. He is my favorite Icelandic photographer anyway...

peter_n1664876959 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I finally managed to get this book and it is wonderful. I tried through the publisher - don't waste your time they don't respond to emails. I bought mine from Amazon in the UK for £39 I think it was. Beautifully printed and worth every penny. I think the book is a labor of love - 15 years in the making with some stunning images. Truly inspirational! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmoore Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 have to agree with stuart, great shots but shows his roots as a newspaper shooter, heavy handed on dodge and burning. maybe it's suppose to look obvious, to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Axelsson is one of the very few photographers now featured on Leica's new website: http://www.leicacamera.com/photography/m_system/lenses/466.html Wonderful pictures -- I'll definitely buy the book. Thanks again for posting. regards, alun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jachin_boaz Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 For the record, I contacted the publisher directly "edda@edda.is" and received a same day response. Have ordered the book - looking forward to receiving it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
