About me
I'm Elisa, originally from The Netherlands, but I moved to Iceland in 2016.
​​
​
I used to work in media, but I wanted a little less hectic and busy life, so I decided to go to Iceland. Initially I was planning to stay for a few months, but I have not left since.
And now, Iceland has become home.
​​
​
Since I've moved here I found out I love photographing. Especially photographing Icelandic horses (in their natural habitat). Before Iceland I had never even touched a camera, but this country and it's four-legged inhabitants are so photogenic, I just could not NOT make photos. My camera has not left my side since and it has made me even more aware of the beauty around us.
​
Besides that I also found out I love to design and knit Icelandic sweaters. You'll find my patterns here too sometime in the near future.
​​
​
Being in Iceland has made me discover so many unexpected things.
I sing in an Icelandic choir and I've started SUP-ping (Stand Up Paddle-boarding). I would have never discovered all of these things (photographing, knitting, singing and SUP-ping) if I had not moved to Iceland. So I will be forever grateful to this country that gave me so much.

On this page you will find a lot of my photographs. You can purchase a print, or get one of my photographs on items like phone cases, masks, mugs, pillow cases, bags, and many more. Just have a look around if you like :)
