Discover Iceland: Fascinating photo exhibition in Amberg!

What could be better than immersing yourself in the fascinating world of Iceland? From November 20th to 23rd, 2025, anyone interested will have the opportunity to do this in the Amberg city laboratory. The exhibition “Iceland: Living with the Elements” by the talented photographer Laura Kopold offers an impressive look at everyday life, the people and the breathtaking nature of the island.

The exhibition takes place in the Amberg Economic Development pop-up room and shows the results of Kopold's several-month stay in Iceland. At just 23 years old, she fulfilled her heart's desire to explore and photograph the island that had fascinated her since her childhood. Her photographs tell stories of people who adapt to the harsh natural conditions and master everyday life. Visitors are invited to experience the artist's personal perspective on Iceland - far from the tourist clichés.

Journey of discovery through the city laboratory

Parallel to the main exhibition, the Stadtlabor+ is showing other works by Laura Kopold. Here you can discover the photographs that capture the interplay of landscape, light and life in the impressive Icelandic backdrop. A visit is a real experience for anyone interested in photography and the dazzling nature of the north.

But what makes Iceland so special? The island, which is completely surrounded by water, not only has a unique geography, but also extraordinary flora and fauna. Iceland's landscapes were created by volcanic activity, providing a fascinating ecosystem in which many species are endemic. Numerous species have developed here in isolation that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Photography as a craft

Speaking of photography: Current trends in technology ensure that photographers are always discovering new possibilities. The Leica SL3, a state-of-the-art full-frame camera, is being hailed as the latest toy. The latest episode of the TSP Talk celebrates the camera and its 100-plus year history - a legacy of quality and innovation that has revolutionized photography. For photographers, choosing the right camera is crucial to realizing their creative vision, and Leica has set high standards with its rangefinder cameras.

Leica stores and galleries welcome photography enthusiasts to try out the latest models and take part in workshops. The fusion of advanced technology and artistic creation is encouraged through such initiatives.

Iceland and the art of this unique landscape invite you to be inspired and to develop your own creativity. “Iceland: Living with the Elements” and the numerous accompanying events in the Amberg city laboratory are an excellent opportunity to learn more about this unique island and the art of photography.

So for anyone who loves photography and nature, there's no better place to visit during this exciting week in November!
