Páll Stefánsson was born on the farm Skinnastaðir in Öxafjarðarhreppur in Northeast Iceland in 1958. He graduated from the Sven Winquist Photography School in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1982 and then became a staff photographer for the magazine Iceland Review, of which he is now the editor. He has been instrumental in shaping the visual appearance of Iceland through his pioneering work as a landscape photographer, relentlessly seeking out new aspects of the Icelandic nature and especially paying attention to details in the natural environment. Alongside his work in Iceland he has undertaken various photographic projects, such as a documentation on UNESCO's World Heritage Sites and a visual journey through Africa, published in the book Africa – The Future of Football (2010). His work has been exhibited widely around the world. The Leica Gallery in Wetzlar, Germany and the Hassleblad Gallery, Gothenburg, are among the galleries that own and present his photos. He has published over 30 books on landscape photography, including Light (1987), Land(1999) and PS Iceland (2006).
