The photo exhibition ‘Ocean Fishing — Six Trips on the North Atlantic’  featuring about 30 photos from my book ‘Images of Fishermen: the North  Atlantic’. kicked off at the National Maritime Museum in Stockholm in 2008. The exhibition continued to Nordatlantens Brygge in Copenhagen in  2009 as well as to Fiskeri- og Søfartsmuseet in Esbjerg, followed in 2010 by Víkin — Sjóminjasafnið, in Reykjavík. The  exhibition was also held in Greenland, at the Katuaq — Grønlands Kulturhus and the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands. 

A description of the book reads: "Images of Fishermen is a coffeetable  book that presents, in compelling language, the reality of North  Atlantic fisheries as seen through a photographer’s lens and may as well  be the first book on the market to cover commercial fishing this  comprehensively using photojournalism in conjunction with an expert  treatise. Through six photo essays, photographer Maria Olsen delivers a  feast of 200 amazing pictures, documenting diverse fishing trips while  covering several fishing methods including benthic and midwater  trawling, pair trawling, gillnetting, and longlining."
