"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."
(Anais Nin)

I am Rut Ing.
I am a photographmaker (I am a graphic designer and in Iceland we are not allowed to call ourselves photographers).
I am a mom.
I am absent minded.
I am optimistic.
I am stubborn.
I am happy.

I have a B.A. in icelandic and B.A in graphic design :)
I have one wonderful son, Ingólfur (named after my dad) - who is my life and joy - without him my world would be colorless in a very bad way.

Me and Ingólfur added three people to our little family - Richard, Lúkas and Indíana and every day is it's own little adventure - we love it.

This is my web page: ruting.is/






p.s.
....and no... I don´t have any pornlike photos of me ; )
I am as you see me - I have nothing to hide!

    "Rut is one weird, but fun cat. She has this amazing ability to make a trip to IKEA fun, and that in itself should qualify her as an amazing person. But there's more! She also shoots great photos, comes up with crazy ideas AND executes them! One of my favorite photographers on flickr and I count her as my friend, which is an honor. If this all sound just like I'm buttering her up then perhaps there is some truth in that, after all I am borrowing a lens from her and might just ask for another one later. This testimonial wont hurt then! :D"

    "It won't take more than a few seconds on Rut's stream to figure out that she's not quite like the other girls.

    Straight away you'll probably spot that she's one hot chica with some crazy and fun looking shots, but don't stop there. Come in and wander around a bit... Rut's stream is a fun and furious tour through the life and times of a talented but modest photographer with a crazy imagination, a huge heart, a great sense of humour and no limits!! How can someone see all this from just looking at her photos? Well that's part of the magic! Some of Rut's shots are quick and fun snaps, some clearly the result of a hours of work and planning. Highs, lows and hillarious out-takes... it's all there and all delivered with a light and sensitive touch. Awesome!"

    With her amazing imagination and talents to deliver them from her thoughts and into a photograph, she is one of the most fun photographers around.

    Her personality is in every single photo that she makes. I really enjoy her work and it makes me smile, every single time !"

    "Rut, þú ert snillingur. Myndirnar þínar eru bara svo bestar. Þú tekur alveg gullfallegar sjálfsmyndir og ekki eru myndirnar af stráknum þínum síðri :) Það er nú eiginlega bara þannig að sama hvað verður fyrir myndavélinni þinni nærðu fullkomlega að festa það á filmu (eða minniskort). Svo má ekki gleyma því að kommentin þín eru með þeim skemmtilegustu :)"

    "I agree with Melissa... Just one testimonial? What an unfair thing!!!

    I´m in love with Rut, she knows. I love her funny way of looking at the world. I love her clean and perfect works. I love her love for her lovely boy. I love her "hahahaha"s...

    A superb photographer... I´m sure a superb person too. Nice to meet you, my friend."

    "R.ing seeks for magic and personality in her photographs. I managed to find her through Unnur's photostream. She is very carefree and loving towards the world. I am always amazed by her creativity with makeup! Perhaps you need to paint my face too. ;) Her photography is very inspiring as you begin to look at each photograph one by one, and you begin to see a lot of what she sees through her own world. Keep up the good work dear. Thought I would give you an extra testimonial as well. ;) Iceland is quite a beautiful place."
