The Villages and Landscapes of the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands is an archipelago on the North Atlantic Ocean comprised of 18 rocky, volcanic Islands between Norway and Iceland. Kevin Faingnaert is a documentary and portrait photographer who lives in Gent, Belgium and thrives on shooting interesting people and places. He visited the Faroe Islands and immersed himself in the community to document the villages and landscapes of this remote land.

In the words of the artist Kevin Faingnaert:

In these clear and pristine landscapes, where villages with populations as low as ten huddle together on the edge of cliffs, I tried to reveal a community hanging on firmly to their roots and traditions, while underlining that one day these villages must inevitably disappear.

His images are also captured in the book Føroyar.
