Bio
Ísold Halldórudóttir, 24 years old from Reykjavik, Iceland, started modeling little over three years ago, after being discovered by Katie Grand, Stylist, Fashion and Creative Director, when she applied to a talent competition to be featured in Love magazine in 2017.
Since then she has continued to fight for diversity in the fashion industry, while challenging the status quo as an artist and activist.
Ísold is a representation of the new generation and a great example of how we can take control over our self image.
Featured in Dazed & Confused, Love Magazine, Heroin Magazine, Blonde Magazine, Office Magazine ( online ), Mob Journal and Vogue Italia ( online ), her latest accomplishment was working with Marc Jacobs for his new Fragrance called Perfect.
Anna Maggý is a rising star in Reykjavík Iceland.
The work of the 24-year-old photographer, videographer and visual artist has been featured in many exhibitions, magazines and advertising campaigns, with a striking style that effortlessly captures the zeitgeist.
Describing herself as chaotic and extreme, she’s thought of as one of the best Icelandic photographers of her generation.
Although the career choice may have been a happy accident, she fell in love with the process of capturing a moment that tells a story beyond its frame.
“A great image must tell a story, but it’s also really important for me that images somehow confuse me, disturb me or grab my attention for a considerably long time.
Images that are really challenging for the eye and the mind.”
Anna Maggý shoots primarily on film in her personal work, as well as digital when in need.
“For me, film is more magical. Sometimes it’s good to not have too many moments, too many frames and too many options.”
