Who is Birta Rán?
I'm a 18 year old photographer living in Borgarnes, Iceland.
I started shooting back in 2004 when my dad bought a digital camera for the family.
I really was the only member of the family who used it so it automatically became "mine".
i started out on DeviantART, posting grunge selfportraits and photos.
I stopped using dA when I started out on Flickr.
I posted my first photo on Flickr on the 23 of September back in 2006.
I mostly shoot photos of people, portraits or fashion, my landscape-eye isn't all that good, i enjoy nature, just can't really capture it.
For two years I moved to Reykjavík where I took a break from Flickr and used Facebook to post my photos and show my people what I was doing. But in 2010 í came back here, regretting ever leaving.

    "Okei, ætla skrifa einn á íslensku um hana Birtu.


    Hvar á ég að byrja? Guð minn almáttugur, ef hún bara fæddist ekki með myndavélina í vinstri, ljósin sín í þeirri hægri og make up í andlitinu þá veit ég ekki hvað, hún er algjör snillingur. Hvort sem hun er að taka sjálfsmyndir eða af módelum, allt sem kemur frá henni er "instant fav". Endilega hættu að skoða testimonals, farðu og skoðaðu þessar frábæru myndir.

    Kv. Jón Kr."

    "Birta Rán is not only a terrific person, but also a photographer - what simply is something that everyone should notice! Her pictures include real emotions, both happy and dark ones. They are just incredibly breathtaking, just one after another, and so she is getting the attention she deserves. Although she is so talented, she's everything but cocky and just such a lovely person :)
    -I'm so proud to know her! :)"
