15.02.2018 — Faroe Islands

It didn't take longer than a day for me to feel at home in Faroe: it's hard to put down into words the sense of calm and peacefulness I experienced. This was definitely because of the incredibly beautiful and solitary landscape surrounding us, but also because of the people I met and their pace in life — which felt so different from what I was used to!

The second time we met Juanita — two days after the first session — I remember picking her up outside her work place and spending the drive to the location chatting with her as if we were old friends. She was knitting a sweater in the back seat of our rental, telling us about Faroe: we had many questions, but she seemed happy to answer them all.

The location for this session was Fossá — one of the highest waterfalls in Faroe. The mist of the water rising from the waterfall made for a very moody backdrop and the reddish colour of the earth matched perfectly with Juanita's copper hair.
