Initially I was in Reykjavik on an other assignment, but I was lucky to be able to stop by the Harpa and take some pictures. The town is very small, so I got to visit the building multiple times during different times of day.

When I first saw the Harpa building in Reykjavik, I was stunned. The metal, glass and light combined into a magnificent construction. My approach to architecture photography is to study the building from all angles, inside and out, before I take the pictures. I want to feel the mood and explore the place before I grab my camera.

I used my Fujifilm x100s to take the pictures, with its similar to 35mm objective. Great for architecture!

Alright, what time is it? Did I fell in a coma or something? This building looks like we already live in 2080 :c
and is it me or does it look like a beehive from the outside? The inside is amazing tho, so modern.
That is one elegant building, you got that part right. Very artistic and might have been hard to photograph with all of those surfaces moving light around. He did a great job!
Believe you me, the first thought which came to my mind when I saw these pictures were... this is a pretty damn good building concept. It will be a little tough to make but it will be one of the best designed buildings of the world, if made according to the concept. But as I started reading, I read it's already there, in Reykjavik. That's when I lost it, completely. How in the world is such a futuristic, elegant, classy building in existence. It really is stunning, in the words of the author. And special mentions should go towards the ace photographer, Per Tore Molvær who really showed the best of the building from the best of the angles. Marvelous building and photography!
