In 1999, a young Danish photographer travelled to Greenland to photograph life in Tiniteqilaaq, a small hunter settlement on the remote East coast. After five weeks, he left, only to return four months later, feeling that his camera had not yet captured the multiple layers of this very different reality.

In 1999, a young Danish photographer travelled to Greenland to photograph life in
Tiniteqilaaq, a small hunter settlement on the remote East coast. After five weeks,
he left, only to return four months later, feeling that his camera had not yet
captured the multiple layers of this very different reality. It was then that Jacob
fell in love with Sabine - he was 23 and she 19.
Jacob Aue Sobol studied photography at the European Film College in Denmark and the
Danish School of Photographic Visual Art. His work has been exhibited at the Museum
of Photography and the Fototrienniale of Odense, the Harbourfront Centre, Toronto,

Photo Prize in the category of Daily Life Stories.
