Photos by Andy Lee

Although Iceland might be a small and remote nation, it attracts over half a million photographers and travelers every year, as it remains one of the most picturesque places in the world. Some of the most recently striking photos captured of the beautiful Nordic landscapes, waterfalls, peaks and roads, are that of UK-based photographer, Andy Lee, in his series titled, “Blue Iceland”. Lee’s approach to this series is with infrared photography to pick up invisible light rather than visible light, perfect for night, misty weather, or darkened interiors. The outcome is a set a photos that don’t compare to other landscape photos taken of Iceland… ever.

Lee specifically shoots with a 5×4, medium format, digital and infrared. With this technique he put on his website, “Infrared and Iceland, a match made in heaven.” And he proves this point through his photos. Below are some of our favorites, and check out more on his website, and also follow him on Facebook and Twitter, as he plans to revisit Iceland soon.
