When Ragnar Axelsson takes photographs, he still looks through an old-fashioned viewfinder, and rather scorns digital photography. He prefers traditional photographic prints in tangible black and white. RAX, as he calls himself, is a documentary photographer. Since 1976 he has been working for the Icelandic newspaper "Morgunbla i ". Over the years, this work has added up to form a greater artistic whole. RAX has been portraying the arctic landscapes of Iceland and Greenland and their inhabitants for many years. The film accompanies RAX in 2010 to Icelandic farms and fishermen, to the seal and bear hunters of Greenland and to Eyjafjallajökull, an active volcano that spits fire and ashes. RAX explains his working methods in great detail and introduces the people he portrays. And he speaks of what drives him repeatedly into the arctic region: He fears that the climate change is threatening to destroy the traditional way of life that exists in harmony with nature. His photographies may be the last pieces of evidence of an environment that may soon no longer exist.
