Why I Built The Darkroom
Hey, I’m Arnúlfur – a photographer from Iceland.
Over the last decade, I’ve learned how to turn my passion for photography into a profitable business on social media.
Along the way, I realized that becoming a full-time creator can be both lonely and challenging. It’s tough to navigate the ups and downs on your own.
That’s why I created The Darkroom - space where photographers can connect, learn, and grow together.
Whether you’re a creator already or just starting to explore, this community is here to help you level up your photography and content creation.
My goal is to offer you valuable insights that make being part of The Darkroom truly worthwhile.
Within The Darkroom, you’ll have my support with:
- Active participation – I’m here, engaged, and ready to help.
- Weekly live sessions – Office hours to dive into your challenges.
- Curated resources – The best tools to help you grow.
- Personalized advice – Tailored insights for your unique journey.

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.
