The bow of the ocean liner photographed
The bow of the ocean liner towers high above you, photographed from a low vantage point in the harbour. The ship lies empty at the quay. In front, the heavy mooring lines stand out, tightly in focus, while the mast with the ship's horn subtly appears in the light. The winches and running wheels stand out sharply. Rust spots and scuff marks in the paint tell the story of many voyages. Everything captured in contrasting black and white, making every detail stand out even more powerfully.
Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port cities are often bustling centres of trade and industry, with ships, trucks and trains moving back and forth 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.
