The Deliberate Eye

Two years on the road through North and Central America, photographing strangers as if they were neighbours.

The project became a self-published book and a lecture series that toured Iceland's national museum and photography schools.

Picture, poetry and sound — short pieces I shoot, edit and score myself, filed under “Ljóð mynda hljóð.”

The Deliberate Eye is a companion series about the act of seeing before you pick up the camera.

I do not go out hunting for pictures. I go out living — and occasionally, if I am paying attention, something jumps in front of the lens and asks to be photographed.

The Way I See It is an ongoing series now drawing from more than twenty countries.

Kristján Logason is an Icelandic photographer based in Kópavogur. His work spans street and documentary photography across more than twenty countries, gathered in the ongoing series The Way I See It.

Kristjan has been working with photography for over forty years — as a press photographer, an advertising photographer, and now as an artist working entirely on his own terms.
