LOL thanks Rob I'll let him know. Apparently someone from here see these post's and I get feed back, through the grape vine. Not sure who it is but that's ok, it is a good community and many fine and wonderful and generous people.I do like these types of images of social documentary. I just wish I was capable of getting out to sea to take some but sadly not to be.Love the first, especially. What a poser he is It's so good to have one of our reporters embedded in this community!
Thank you Ivar, Because the nature of the industry at least in this village the access is not to difficult, I'll also say it is the generosity of the fishermen themselves, to tolerate me. I am sure it helps that I worked alongside a few of them, although a long time ago, but nevertheless, who likes a camera poked at themselves. I hope no one gets too bored if I post more of the same.I must say as Rob. Wonderful images and a genre I feel you do best out of many here. Great one the first and the series as a whole.
Thanks Martin, it is a hard place to shoot in the first two thirds of the day, my back would be SE facing so the guy can be in half sun half shadow from the quay and the building, as seen from the first image. The right side of the shots needed to be cropped, completely blown out, but that reflected light sometimes hit the fish which works well.Love the second one Julian. Directly to the point a main doing an honest work. I like the lighting of it, the silver of fish makes a very nice contrast to their surroundings.
Thank you Pete. I did look into a book the other day. Thought that is the best way to preserve image from over the years as it is inevitable that the hard drives will fail at some point.What more can I add? A fine set and a super addition to the growing documentary of the community there. An exhibition (or at least a photo book) would really do these justice I think.
Thanks BrianThe first is a fine working man portrait, Julian. And the others, as usual, are fine documentary photos. A book is a good idea!
Thanks Peri, yes I simply press the largest button on the top right of the camera, hoping it is pointing at something interesting.I think that's the real essence of photography. Telling the story through a series of photos. How can you start talking about technical stuff and pixels when you have such a great story? Nice work Julian. Love it.
