| That red headband and the touch of the red and pink blurred coats of the people in the background really makes this color shot sing. |

This is really GOOD! It has a 3-dimensional quality to it. The tones and colors have such depth and vibrance! One of my favorites for sure of your school children series!

Delightful shy smile - and I love how the red grabs the eye and draws you in.
Fascinating story of how you come to take the shots Gunnar - I'm still not sure you could manage something like this in the UK. Maybe in a small village school I guess . . but all it would take is for one parent to be unhappy and I'm sure the whole thing would have to stop.
Very sad - because you are genuinely capturing moments, vignettes if you like, of their school days in a truly unique way and to a higher quality than many of them would ever have otherwise. |

To answer your questions: Late 2008 I asked the head teacher of this school in Reykjavik for permission to take photos of the kids during recess. He said yes. I posted some photos on the school´s website so every teacher was aware of this guy with the camera. Last summer I had an outdoor exhibition in Reykjavik with some of the images. After the exhibition I gave the photos to the school. The kids know me, the parents are familiar with my images, and I usually come there during my lunchtime, just a short walk from work.
All the best... and thanks for asking.

I swear to God, I was just going to make an almost identical comment to smardaz's. Either you are a trusted parent, a locally famous photographer, or Iceland doesn't have their collective panties in a knot about how everyone's a potential predator. |
