During his first trip to Iceland in 1991, the Swiss Photographer Marco Paoluzzo stayed on the Faroe Isles for two days. He was immediately mesmerised by the solitary group of islands in the North Atlantic. More birds & sheep than people live on the isles that can be found over 1300 kilometres off the Danish coast.
