Einar Siggi Bjarnason

BORN AND RAISED IN ICELAND.

BASED IN AARHUS, DENMARK.

As a freelance filmmaker and photographer, I love to work on ambitious and creative projects. Over the past 10 years, I have been involved in productions in the film industries in Iceland, Norway and Denmark. I have worked on short and long format productions for companies such as Netflix, NRK, Universal Music and Icelandair.

Some projects demand large crews, and I’m just as experienced with being a part of larger productions as I am with going out solo and taking on multiple roles, driving a production from start to finish.
