Photography workshop with Marsel van Oosten & Daniella Sibbing
30 March - 14 April 2017
This is the third image from a series of four black and white photographs that won me a Silver award last week in the One Eyeland awards. Here are the links to the first and second image that I posted earlier:
All images were shot in the Fujian province in China, and show the extremely graphic and surreal landscape that is the result from large scale aquaculture. Those sticks you see are massive bamboo poles, and they’re used to farm seaweed.
This particular image was shot on an early morning before sunrise at low tide. I knew that around this time of day there might be someone searching for clams, so I used my 400mm lens and systematically searched through the landscape for a human element.
I love the compressed perspective of the 400mm and how it makes the landscape very 2-dimensional. Once I found a person, I just followed it with my lens until it was in the perfect spot.

If you’d like to get shots like this yourself, then why not join us to China next month? We have one last minute opening, so this is your chance! More info here: ow.ly/2UY8100z2YU
