A bride is seen dancing in her white wedding dress, with her friends are dancing and having fun around her.
I don’t often photograph weddings. But when I do, I enjoy doing so because weddings can many times be, what I call “high energy places”.

The stars aligned last night and I was able to capture an image I was waiting for a long time now, the erupting volcano with the Northern Lights, the rare phenomenon, where the fiery force of the Earth meets the celestial dance of the sky.
This extraordinary convergence is exceedingly rare. Volcanic eruptions, driven by tectonic forces beneath the Earth's crust, are unpredictable and often violent. In contrast, the Northern Lights are a delicate, atmospheric phenomenon caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. For both to occur simultaneously is a unique event, requiring precise conditions—clear skies, high geomagnetic activity, and an active volcano.
Photographers and nature lovers cherish such moments, as they offer a glimpse into the incredible forces that shape our planet and beyond. This image of this dual spectacle, for me not only captures a fleeting moment of natural wonder but also serves as a reminder of the powerful and beautiful forces at play on Earth and in the universe.
A night to remember.

The earth shakes and rumbles under the Reykjanes peninsula with many indications pointing that another volcanic eruption is imminent. Whether that happens or not, the Fagradalsfjall volcano is one the best places for a daily adventure/hike, and it can be done easily from Reykjavik.

Pavel woke up trembling from what seemed like it would be a regular night's sleep, trying to find his documents, some cash and pack his bag with shaking hands, at the first hours of Russia's invasion at Ukraine from the bombs falling around Kharkiv.

Only time will tell if this “new normal” is good or bad and how long it will stay. What matters is that it’s shifting how our society works, and its important that we as photographers, document this (probably) pivotal change of our society for future reference.
