About the artwork

The ship's bow rises sharply against a threatening cloudy sky. On the foredeck, the heavy anchor chains lie tightly along the imposing anchor winches, while the blue hold hatch contrasts brightly with the orange hull. The huge anchor locker hole yawns darkly, as if it might spit out another chain at any moment. Next to the winches for the mooring lines, the mast stretches upwards, a steel finger to the sky. There is always something to discover on a seagoing ship: steel, power and details that never stand still. Under the lead-grey clouds, the ship glides into port, small under the sky but unmistakably grand in its appearance.

Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port towns are often bustling centres of commerce and industry, with ships, trucks and trains moving in and out to load and unload goods. This offers photographers the opportunity to capture beautiful images of large ships docked at the quayside, crane machines loading and unloading containers from and onto the ships, and workers busy at work. Port photography can be challenging, as there is often a lot of movement and activity, and the light is constantly changing. But when the right moments are captured, port photo's can produce impressive and inspiring images.
