Alliat's photostream  

Prints are available here. World wide shipping!

Hi, my name is Aðalsteinn, but I've called myself Alliat online since 1996. I first learned the basics of photography from Gunnar V. Andrésson (News Photographer) at the age of 14. I later spent a year and a half learning the more advanced stuff from Gréta S. Guðjónsdóttir.

After graduating from FB arts devision I lost the access to the darkroom and had to return the old Olympus camera I had borrowed from a relative and thus was forced to turn to digital photography. Don't get me wrong here, the digital is great, but I still miss the good times in the darkroom.

Now I'm working in a furniture store and using my free time for photography, sketching and making music - all of which are available on my personal website (in Icelandic).

-Canon EOS 550D
