Hello everyone, my name is Guðmundur Óli Gunnarsson and I am a 41 year old photography student at The School of Information Technology, Technical school of Reykjavík.

My last semester there will be this spring. I am born and raised in Iceland where I have lived most of my life. I love this country for the many things it has to offer. I have been taking photography seriously for some years and always felt it appealing to work as a photographer full time, so when the opportunity came to go to school for photography I grabbed it.
What I see in my future is to finish my study in photography and then hopefully start my own studio. It has long been my dream to build a successful business that revolves around photography.

My take on the New Horizon theme was to look at the daily shifts between mask and no mask. This has become a huge part in our daily lives and a frequent discussion, especially early in the pandemic
when the mandates shifted a lot. Pro mask or not, this has been talked about often and everyone has been affected. This series is about looking forward to a brighter time, a new horizon for
everyone when we can see each other’s smiling faces again.
