About me | Unnar Darri

I’m Unnar, a filmmaker based in Reykjavík, Iceland, with a passion for visual storytelling through cinematography and photography. I believe every frame should serve the story, whether through composition, lighting, movement, or atmosphere.

Being on a film set feels like a second home to me. I enjoy the collaborative process of filmmaking and the challenge of transforming ideas into compelling visual narratives. For me, storytelling is as much about what is left unseen as what appears on screen. I often use shadows, negative space, and subtle visual details to create mood, build tension, and draw viewers deeper into a story.

While I primarily work as a cinematographer, I also have experience across multiple departments, including camera assisting, lighting, color grading, and editing.

Whether working on narrative films, commercials, music videos, or documentaries, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel meaningful, immersive, and emotionally engaging.
