Of Icelandic heritage, Torfi was born in Massachusetts. Saving an entire summer's worth of hard-earned money, he spent that on an Olympus OM2 camera, soon followed by a darkroom rigged in the guest bathroom of his parents’ house, at the age of 12!

Working extensively in the US, Torfi moved to Iceland while continuing his photography career, expanding his skills with video and CGI. Torfi recently relocated to Denmark, as part of an ever-evolving passion to experience new surroundings.

This international understanding has gained Torfi worldwide clients, taking him across oceans, mountains, deserts and every imaginable territory in search of amazing imagery.
