Mini bio
How it started.
Before photography became her career, Ása studied engineering and computer science, worked conventional jobs and went to Turkey as a tour guide. A travel blog helped her record her journeys. After time abroad, including a long trip through Asia, she returned to Iceland with a new appreciation of its landscapes.
Taking the leap.
Ása credits growing interest in Iceland and her experience helping build a marketing agency with creating opportunities for her photography. She began her freelance photography career in 2018. Her work brings together outdoor adventures, photography, filmmaking and creative work for brands.
Bringing fans along.
In summer 2020, Ása and her partner organised a Vanlife Iceland trip with friends and followers: 12 vans travelling together for a week. Her Iceland Guide now brings her local knowledge into a map with hundreds of places and suggested itineraries. She also teaches short video creation through Viral Video Bootcamp.
Life around nature.
Glaciers, cold weather and open landscapes remain at the heart of her work. Alongside travel and family videos, her projects include Fjara of Iceland, whose debut Saga Sweater is made in Iceland by Varma using Icelandic wool.
