Vast expanses of unspoiled nature. Dramatic clouds and lingering mist. Winding roads and little towns. These are some of my favorite things to photograph. And they are in abundance in the Faroe Islands.
My expectations before the trip were pretty high, but what I found was so perfectly aligned with my photographic eye I could hardly believe it.
It’s kind of the perfect time to visit the Danish archipelago. Located between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands still seem some years from becoming a super-popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers, like Iceland, but the infrastructure there is so well-developed that traveling around is a piece of cake. There are underwater tunnels and bridges that connect some of the islands, while the more remote ones are served by helicopter (surprisingly cheap) and ferries.
