If you love dark and stormy you gotta go. North of Scotland and just south of Iceland you find a group of islands called the Faroe Islands ‘owned’ by the Danish but if you ask me it is a world on its own. Famous for their stubbornness on whaling habits, besides there is why more to these 17 islands floating in the middle of nowhere. It’s simply magical, barren lands, no trees around and so much space. Things have been the way as they’ve always have been when you look at photos and listen to the sounds while we were getting ourselves lost in the surroundings we met a not so happy man with his shepherd dogs. We happen to run over his land, not cool. The words of warnings quickly grew into a good chat and he told me that he is the 16th generation owning the valley and living on it. Things haven't changed much and that's where we came to shoot for Nomad. Martijn Andriessen was in charge of the photography and Hugo Happel and I were the ‘models’. Not bringing a camera wasn’t an option for me. Below some images of our trip and this amazing place.
