Artist Name

Serena Dzenis

Born: 1984

Hometown: Melbourne, Australia

Based in: Reykjavík, Iceland

Serena Dzenis is an Australian landscape and nature photographer who is based in Iceland.

Serena’s work places an emphasis on storytelling within the landscape – connecting with the land and immersing oneself in the rhythms and dangers associated with the living presence of this world.

Well-known for her uniquely romantic style, Serena’s photographs depart from the traditional, with a focus on capturing the raw energy of human emotions and the otherworldliness often associated with space and atmosphere. Taking an interest in harsh conditions and with a deep passion for the enchantment of the winter season, Serena transforms each scene with a subtle narrative that highlights her penchant for making the most of what this planet has to offer.

Serena’s goal is to inspire others to make their own future and to turn their dreams into reality. As she says, “my story is about standing on the land's edge with no one else around, windblown with the sweet relief of a life and a place in this vast expanse."
