FAROE ISLANDS — STREYMOY
— Situated between the islands of Vágar Island and Eysturoy Island, Streymoy is the largest island in the Faroe Islands. It is home to the country's two most famous and remote villages: Saksun and Tjørnuvík, as well as the capital Tórshavn.
I visited each location with a very specific composition in mind. Sometimes it's just a landscape, sometimes it's houses and sometimes it's people. I wanted to give a human dimension to certain landscapes by including a silhouette. This allows people to get an idea of the size of certain elements, such as the Fossá waterfall, the largest in the country.
This series of landscape photos was taken during my week in the Faroe Islands. Mystical, moody and rainy are the words that best describe my impression of this island. In each place, I was alone. This place gave me the feeling of being in a fairytale at the end of the world, in an imaginary world.
