The visual approach in Faces of the North focuses on capturing the distinct facial expressions and features of individuals from northern regions, exploring themes of identity and cultural heritage. The photographs emphasize mood and character, revealing personal narratives through close, intimate portraits.

Spanning 144 pages, the collection presents a contemplative look at the human condition set against northern landscapes or environments, although the predominant emphasis remains on the faces themselves rather than contextual surroundings. The work invites viewers to consider the interplay between environment and personal history.
