A silhouetted figure stands in shallow water, holding a fishing net partially submerged beneath the surface. The black and white composition emphasizes the quiet tension between human presence and nature, with tree branches framing the scene on the right. The calm water and soft light evoke a timeless moment of tradition, solitude, and connection to the land.

More jutra i povrataka"
Mala ribarska plovila klize modrim morem, u potrazi za ulovom i tišinom dana koji tek počinje.
Jedni polaze, drugi se vraćaju, a obala svjedoči njihovim pričama ispisanim u mrežama i umornim rukama.
To su trenutci u kojima more diše zajedno s čovjekom – u odlascima, povratcima i tišini između.
Tales Between Departure and Return
Small fishing boats glide across the blue sea, searching for both catch and the silence of a day yet to unfold.
Some depart, others return, while the shore bears witness to stories written in nets and weary hands.
Moments where the sea breathes with the fisherman – in departures, returns, and the silence in between.

🇬🇧 Under a heavy sky, a fisherman stands at the edge of the sea, his feet in the foam, net in hand. Behind him, a small boat with its engine off waits silently. Further away, a lone figure balances on a canoe at the horizon.
The gesture, simple and ancestral, seems suspended in time — between the sea and silence.

🇫🇷 Sous un ciel bas, un pêcheur s’avance au bord de l’eau, les pieds dans l’écume, son filet à la main. Derrière lui, une pirogue légère, moteur à l’arrêt, attend de repartir. Plus loin, une silhouette se découpe à l’horizon, équilibre fragile sur une barque.
Le geste, simple et ancestral, semble suspendu hors du temps — entre la mer et le silence.

Cormorant fishing is a traditional way of life on the Li River in the past. Walking the riverside in Yangshou after sunset often provides the opportunity to see the fishermen gather to fish; their birds perched on the gas-lit bamboo rafts. The lights on the rafts scattered all over river form as an extraordinary sight.

A cluster of colorful fishing boats docked at Puerto Paracas, near the Ballestas Islands in Peru. This busy port supports the region’s strong fishing tradition.
Before departing from Moskenes in the Lofoten archipelago on a ferry to Bodø, we made a stop at the museum village of Nussfjord, nestled on the southern coast of Flakstadøya island. This fishing village is renowned for its stunning scenery and rich Norwegian fishing heritage. Surrounded by mountains, Nussfjord overlooks its namesake, a beautiful fjord. Historically, Nussfjord held great importance as a fishing port and a hub for the traditional Lofoten fishery. Every winter, local fishermen set out in small boats to catch cod during the spawning season. Massive shoals of cod migrated from the Barents Sea to the Lofoten area, presenting a precious catch for the village. After catching the cod, they carefully gutted it and then hung it on wooden racks called "hjell" to dry in the refreshing coastal air. The process enhanced the fish's unique taste and texture while preserving its inherent nutritional value. This allowed the fish now called "stockfish" to be kept for a long time, making it a sought-after product by merchants from far and wide.
Bergen, strategically located and a member of the influential Hanseatic League, played a pivotal role in medieval trade. Recognizing the value of stockfish as a durable food source, Bergen became a central trading hub for dried cod from Lofoten. Hanseatic merchants established a vast network, importing stockfish and distributing it to markets across northern Europe. The partnership between Lofoten's fishermen and Bergen's Hanseatic merchants proved mutually beneficial. The fishermen thrived with a reliable market for their catch, while Bergen's prominence as a trading city strengthened. Over time, this historical connection between Lofoten, fishing, cod, and Bergen shaped the economic and cultural history of the region. Today, many traditional rorbuer (fishermen's cabins) have been converted into accommodations for visitors, allowing them to immerse themselves in the fascinating heritage of this coastal gem – Nussfjord, Lofoten, Norway

A close-up view of lobster pots at Amble Harbour, capturing the town’s working fishing heritage on the Northumberland coast. These well-used traps are a reminder of the ongoing life of this “Friendliest Port,” where fishing remains an important part of the local economy.

When I first spotted this fishing pier extending into the water, I knew I wanted to capture the sense of isolation and calm it projected. Using a long exposure helped me smooth out the water and sky, creating this simplified environment where the structure could really stand out.
What drew me to this scene was the contrast between the delicate wooden framework and the vast emptiness surrounding it. The small turquoise cabin adds just enough color to break the monochrome palette and create a focal point.
I deliberately composed the shot with the thin dark horizon line to anchor the image while maintaining the minimalist feel. The pier extending from the right creates a natural path for the eye to follow out into the open water.
There's something both lonely and peaceful about these traditional fishing structures that I find compelling - they're like quiet sentinels standing between land and sea. By stripping away all the visual noise through the long exposure technique, I hoped to convey that meditative quality that drew me to photograph it in the first place.

Standing on the U bein bridge its a pleasure to see the fishermen at work . The throwing of the nets looks so elegant, like its so easy to do. But I think its a craftwork thats not easy to learn
The little fishing harbor in Mutrah is a lively spot where local fishermen bring in their daily catch. Located near the Mutrah Corniche, it’s an essential part of the community, supplying fresh fish to markets and restaurants in Muscat. At sunset, the harbor becomes even more atmospheric as fishermen sort and store their catch, like the young man here moving large fish from one freezer to another. The Corniche and surrounding mountains create a scenic backdrop – Mutrah, Muscat, Oman
CORMORANT fishing in China is on the verge of collapse. Fishing with the help of cormorant birds was once upon a time a stable industry for the Chinese fishermen. It was told that a good cormorant was enough pet to provide food for a Chinese family.
Here's a video of fishermen in action.

A young man wades through the shallow coastal waters of Tagbilaran, Visayas, Philippines, foraging for shellfish, lobsters, crabs, sea urchins, mollusks, and even octopus—a traditional practice in many coastal communities. With only a bucket and his bare hands, he searches the rocky seabed for sustenance, embodying a way of life that has existed for generations. The monochrome tones highlight the solitude, resilience, and deep connection between humanity and the ocean, making this a powerful visual story of survival and tradition.
beneath the calm skies of puerto d'andratx, the silent stories of the sea are woven into the nets and ropes of fishermen. here, where the Mediterranean breathes its ancient breath, each knot and coil is a testament to the enduring dance between man and ocean. the nets, laden with the scent of salt and brine, hang like curtains of history, capturing not just fish, but centuries of seafaring life. in this tangled mesh, every thread tells a story, every float a memory of waves conquered and storms braved.
