A photograph is rarely just an image. Almost always, it tells a story — a story best known to its author. And when a photograph is good, it can carry part of that story to the viewer without the author having to explain it in words. Still, having the full context is always richer, and that is why, in the series “The Story of a Photograph,” the author himself describes what stood behind its creation. The photograph we focus on in this article is one of the most well-known images of Icelandic volcanoes by Filip Hrebenda, titled “Born of Fire.”
