Portraits (1981 – )
Since Einar Falur started earning a living from photography as a teenager, and onwards during decades working as a photo reporter, picture editor and culture editor, making portraits has been a big part of his work. He has mainly worked in the field of arts, and has taken numerous photographs for book-covers, catalogues and various profiles on and interviews with artists. Portraits have also been a big part of his own photography and have played an important role in his visual diary and the large projects he has worked on since 2007.
