Baldvin V

Baldvin Vernharðsson bought his first movie camera when he was 12 years old in order to be able to shoot bike and snowboarding videos. “That kind of films have played an important role in shaping me as a cameraman og left a raw landscape,” Baldvin says but he started right away working in the movie Málmhaus after graduating from The Icelandic Film School in 2013, he had previously finished his art study in graphic design. So he started as a shooting ant, as he puts it himself, and now he has great, technical knowledge in operating a movie camera, which is also useful for him as a director. He quickly finds interesting solutions and is not afraid of trial and error concerning new technology and mediums.
