The exhibition consists of 57 photographs of stars including Björk, Leonardo DiCaprio, Patti Smith, Naomi Watts, Robbie Williams and Bruce Willis, Fréttablaðið reports.

Benni, who has been based in Paris since 1985, has worked for GQ, Elle France, Le Monde and Libération, to name a few.

His family moved back to Iceland two years ago and Benni says he now spends his time between Akureyri, Paris and London.

The exhibition runs through August 26.
