Ep 142 - Exploring Industrial Facilities in Natural Landscapes in Iceland with Serena Dzenis

Serena Dzenis is an Australian lens based artist living in Iceland, known for her mission in promoting nature conservation through visual storytelling. Serena's journey extends beyond photography, encompassing roles as an author, educator, and speaker.

 

Her work, rooted in storytelling within landscapes, captures the essence of the living world, fostering a deep connection with nature. From her early days in music photography to becoming the Editor in Chief for an Icelandic publication, Serena's portfolio spans documentary, landscape, and nature photography. Her diverse background includes roles as Senior Vice President for the Health and Community Services Union in Australia and a decade in Mental Health.

 

Serena shares her transition from Australia to Europe, eventually settling in Iceland, where she now lives and focuses on capturing the connection between humanity and the land through her lens. 

 

We cover her struggle with creative blocks, her approach to storytelling through photography,  the evolving nature of photography as an art form and the impact of tourism on Iceland's natural sites along with much more. 

 

I hope you enjoy the show!
