In July 2024 I took a few snaps in Elduvík, The Faroe Islands. Its a place I always make a stop on my private and custom photography workshops that I run. Its such a quiet and beautiful village. Not many people live here, around 12 people or so and the town sits on the end of the road in a fjord, looking out over the water onto Kalsoy island.
The grainy black and white in these pictures is something I love to use and express my vision of The Faroe Islands in.
So these pictures of beautiful Elduvík are no exception. It is everything you want from a small Faroese village. Old houses, the ocean nearby, windswept landscapes, rustic and nordic details all around. Enjoy watching these pictures.
Moving Postcards
I have made a new playlist on my Youtube Channel. This playlist contains short, little videos. Cinematic and often slow and static. No music, just the actual sounds and ambiance present. Showing off certain places and locations in a cinematic way, catching the actual vibe, and feel of these places.
Eiði - The Faroe Islands
I stayed a couple of days in the village of Eiði, The Faroe Islands earlier in July. I was working on a photography project for a local restaurant in the next town, called Ljósa. I made this little video for the restaurant, check it out here.
In between shooting at the restaurant I had some time for a little stroll or two through Eiði and look at the town in a bit of a different way. Not the typical tourist way, but more in a street and urban photography kind of way.
I’ve visited the Faroe Islands about 7 times now, and after every visit I start to get more and more into shooting street/urban kind of style here. The Faroe Islands are just perfect for that!
Føroyar- A Keepsake
In this video I have tried to do something else, I have written a poem. The poem captures my feelings that I have for this place. The beautiful Faroe Islands.
Please let me know what you think of it, and if you'd like to see more of these "cinematic" videos with me making and recording a poem to them. It was fun to try something else for a change. I hope you like it. Thank you for watching.
Drangarnir
This blogpost is all about showing you some of my Drangarnir footage that I’ve gotten on my previous Faroe Islands workshop in February. Both photographs and video. Lets start off with a short video, showing you how this spot looks like. Check it out and make sure to take a look at the photographs in this blogpost after you’ve seen the video.
This spot is photogenic no matter from what angle you shoot it. Agree?
