” … Her images are a compelling balance of pastorial mysticisim and urban sensuality, of unhibited spontaneity and sophisticated compositions”
– Laurence Butet-Roch, British Journal of Photography
“Saga sig is an Icelandic photographer whose aesthetic veers between seventies glamour and fantastical mysticism. There is a hard-to-pin magical aura to much of her often sexually-charged imagery that recalls the rich mythology at the heart of the land of ice and snow, and it arguably takes the best of her work beyond the realm of fashion and into the arena of high art.”
– John-Paul Pryor, editorial director, M&C SAATCHI
