August 3 – August 28 2012
this summer, paris-based
photographer Bernharð
Valsson is coming home to
exhibit his excellent portraits
of celebrities in his home
town of akureyri, north
iceland. “there is a gender
difference, i’ve noticed:
women like to look good
whereas men want to show
that they have character,”
says Bernharð. “and it’s a
smidge more interesting for
me as a photographer to try
to get the character than the
beauty shot.” PS
