Fishermen at Dusk
Fishermen at Dusk
At a time when it’s very often possible for me to go from being really impressed with a photo I took to thinking it sucks within the scope of just one minute (don’t ask), I think older work that still manages to impress me is probably really special in a way. Especially since I often cringe when I look at my older work. To me this photo has kind of a cinematic feel to it. Certainly the colors and shadows add to the dramatic look. And what makes it interesting are the 4 layers visible that add depth to the photo, the sharpest layer being the main subject — the fishermen heading back to their boat. The other layers are out of focus and have kind of a soft look, making the photo have kind of a dreamy feel to it. What also makes the scene interesting is one of the fishermen in the small boat gesturing with his hand to the other.
I still remember being by myself, quietly standing there and watching this scene unfold. It was a good day.
