The Faroe Islands - A Portrait of Life

I first learnt about the book Atlantic Cowboy when it was featured in Outdoor Photography magazine. At first, I thought it was a book of photographs from the Faroe Islands, but I soon found out it was so much more than that.

I’ve always wanted to travel to and photograph the Faroe Islands, but I’ll be honest, I knew very little about the culture and people. This book offered me the opportunity to not only appreciate a style of photography that I might not normally look at, but it was also a chance to learn more about some of the people that live and work on the Faroe Islands.

I’ve had this book a little while now, so this is a bit of a belated review. It’s also sold out on the Gost Books (the publishers) website, but I’m sure if you check a few book shops you’ll still find a copy. Not sure if it’s a book for your bookshelf, then why not check out this episode of On My Bookshelf.
