I help photographers level up their photography and photo editing skills. Hi, my name is Arnúlfur - I'm a professional landscape photographer from Iceland. I've been shooting for over a decade and have worked with brands like Sony, Sigma, DJI, Insta360, Artlist, NiSi, Epidemic Sound, and more. I'm also a huge fan of photo editing (especially in Lightroom), and I'm passionate about teaching others and sharing everything I learn. Oh, and I run The Darkroom - an online community for photographers. It's a space to nerd out, connect with like-minded people, and get better at our craft together.
