Rannsy has had a long-standing interest in photography, beginning with capturing family moments with instant film cameras and moving on to explore people and places through travel. She credits one trip in particular with crystallising her desire to look at her surroundings in greater detail. Back in Iceland, she seeks quieter interpretations of her much photographed homeland. Encouraged by friendships online, she is currently studying creative photography.

The picture was made this summer in heavy rain and strong winds on the highest point in the beautiful geothermal area of the valley “Hveradalir” in Iceland near “Kerlingafjoll” in the highlands. I was pretty happy about the outcome. The lens was 200mm long. This area is now quite popular with tourists, but I was lucky to get a picture without any people. I thought a 1x1 aspect ratio suited it well. I named the picture Your Path.
