# North Atlantic

> Headlands, sea cliffs, and small villages on the Faroe Islands under a low, grey sky.

- **Year**: 2022
- **Location**: Faroe Islands

Headlands and villages under one grey sky.

## Project images

- The headland above the bay.
- The village under the cliff.
- A house at the head of the valley.
- Surf from the cliff edge.
- Rain coming down the valley.
- The bay from the road.
- Roofs on the only flat ground.
- Cliffs in the wind.

I went to the Faroe Islands for ten days in October and saw the sun for about an hour. It didn't matter. Under a constant grey sky the islands come down to two tones, tawny grass and slate water, and the shapes come forward: headlands like folded paper, cliffs dropping straight into the surf, villages tucked into the only flat ground.

I shot from the cliff paths and the roadside, often in wind strong enough to shake the tripod, and waited for gaps in the cloud that never came.
