The book “Pictures of the Faroe Islands” is one of the most comprehensive photo collection of this small archipelago in the North Atlantic halfway between Iceland and Scotland.
All the pictures of this photo book were taken by the Italian travel photographer Alessio Mesiano fallen in love for the Faroe Islands in 2008. Since then he travelled frequently there to take new photographs for official tourist board Visit Faroe Islands. His pictures have been used for several pamphlets, magazines, travel guides and they have also been used by the local flight company Atlantic Airways.
Why the Faroe Islands? “Well, it is just of these small dimensions that I have fallen for the place. They are so concentrated. A concentration of beauty. Beautiful landscapes, buildings, people, animals and other lovely things. All gathered in this intimate place” – says Alessio Mesiano – “It is not by chance that the Faroe Islands are one of the world’s best-rated islands by National Geographic.”
Now he has gathered the best pictures in a 170-pages coffee-table photo book and he is currently running a crowdfunding campaign: bit.ly/faroeislandsphotobook
The price for the book, 20x20cm, premium matte paper, is 35 Euro, shipping costs included.
The goal is to print at least 1000 books to sell worldwide. However, in order to achieve the goal he needs help to collect at least 7.000€.
