ICELAND REVIEW 71
Photographer and graphic designer Hörður Sveinsson’s hobby is to solve cross-
word puzzles. In his professional life he is a fresh breeze for Icelandic photog-
raphy. His images have music, and maybe therefore bands like Sigur Rós, Of
Monsters and Men, Múm, Retro Stefson, and soloists such as Ólafur Arnalds and John Grant,
have made use of his talent.
Born in 1981, Hörður has worked as a photographer for ten years. But he does more than
taking pictures of musicians—his portraits, reportages and fashion shoots bear the strong
fingerprint of his fine-tuned vision.
Hörður also believes that he’s a good ukulele player. 
