Arctic Productions: Reykjavik full photo production
Arctic Productions is a full-service production company in Iceland.
"Over the last year we have been very fortunate to service great productions in Iceland like Puma's documentary on Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir, one of our national team soccer players who’s coming back from her pregnancy with her mindset stronger than ever and is training for the UEFA Cup this summer.
Since we are on the topic, we are also proud to say that we produced a TV documentary for FIFA about the success of Iceland’s male national soccer team in their first World Cup in 2018.
If there is anything we love more than soccer and talking about soccer, it's producing top quality content with our beautiful Icelandic nature as backdrop.
In mid November we welcomed a group of brave professionals from Away Travel. We planned and produced a successful five-day commercial shoot in all over Iceland in the magical November sunlight.
We love bringing people together from all over the world to meet and create unforgettable and unique memories in Iceland. And that we did with Nina and Alla from the Slack Community who first met in person here in Iceland after working together remotely."
Recent production service clients include: FIFA, Puma, Away Travel, Slack Community, Vogue, Muck Boots, Tokyo TV.
