Welcome to my photography website!

I am a serious hobby photographer with particular interest in architectural and artistic nude photography, although I also frequently delve into a variety of other subjects. I strive to place the main emphasis in my work on elegant composition and the capture of beautiful and visually impressive subjects with an artistic touch and quality lighting. I work hard at continually refining my skills and artistic sense and at creating the most beautiful images I can in every situation.

My photographs have been published in the online versions of major U.S. national media, including the U.S. News and World Report (travel section), Wired Magazine, and Treehugger.com, and selected for use as optional screensavers by Microsoft and used to illustrate several travel websites.

I am interested in select photographic collaborations with artistic possibilities, so if you have something special in mind that you feel we could work on together, please do not hesitate to contact me. Although photography is a hobby and a passion for me rather than a main source of income, I also undertake occasional paid assignments that interest me. I can provide unique high-quality photography for special personal or commercial projects for a very reasonable fee and I welcome inquiries about such assignments. To avoid mixing my photography work with my full-time employment, I only identify my photography work with my photographer name "o palsson". I do much of my photography in the Washington DC/Baltimore area and in North Carolina, but also in my country of origin, Iceland, as well as in my frequent travels around the U.S. and internationally.

I hope you enjoy the samples of my photography provided in the galleries on this website.
