Why I Built The Darkroom
Hey, I’m Arnúlfur - a photographer from Iceland.
Over the last decade, I’ve spent 10,000+ hours behind the lens and in the editing seat.
I’ve taken all the courses, watched all the tutorials - but the thing they all miss? Feedback and community.
That’s why I built The Darkroom.
It’s a space to grow through doing - by sharing your work, getting real feedback, and surrounding yourself with like-minded creatives.
Learning with others and making new friends is way more fun than doing it alone.
So, whether you're just starting out or already a pro, this is the place to level up.
Inside The Darkroom, you’ll get:
- Weekly live sessions
- Curated resources
- Honest, personalized feedback from me and a lot more!

As a beginner in YouTube and photography, I didn’t have anyone to talk to about it – no colleagues, family, or friends. Joining The Darkroom was a game-changer. Now I’m surrounded by passionate people who share my interests and pursue photography and content creation at a level I never imagined.
It’s been amazing talking to them, seeing their work, and learning from their process. This community is incredible, and Arnulfur has really built something special. The weekly hangouts are awesome, and I’m excited for the upcoming lectures to level up my skills.
