Búðakirkja is a small wooden church located on the south side of Snæfellsnes Peninsula- Iceland.
It is a local parish church that was first established in 1703 but the current church was built in1848.



The Black Church of Budir has in recent years become a very popular object for photographers and with good reason. The small distinct church is a beautiful and minimalistic object placed in the rough nature of Iceland, where the black color makes a beautiful contrast to the often cloudy mountains in the background.


I havent edited much on this. I use adobe photoshop for the editing purpose.

Everyone liked the photos, all of them are astonished by the beauty and paint of the church. Most of them thought its unreal.

Being a Pharmacy graduate my entry into the field of creative visual arts was really unexpected. It started off as a hobby but gradually I realized this is my life and I took the decision to pursue Photography as my career.
