I came to Búðir during my March road trip around Iceland specifically to photograph the Black Church. I'd seen it in countless images online and knew I wanted to capture it for myself. My goal was to find an angle that showed the church in its full context—the stark landscape, the stone walls, the vastness of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula stretching out behind it. The challenge was that this is one of the most photographed churches in Iceland, and I kept second-guessing myself. Every angle I tried felt like something I'd already seen. The overcast March sky was flat, and I wasn't sure the light would give me anything special. I walked around the site, testing different perspectives, wondering if I'd be able to create something that felt like mine. Then I positioned myself to include the old stone wall in the foreground. Suddenly, everything clicked. The wall led the eye naturally to the church, the monochromatic tones unified the whole scene, and the layered landscape behind it gave the image depth. I realized I didn't need dramatic light or a unique angle—I needed to let the simplicity and starkness of the place speak for itself. That's when I got the shot.
