About the artwork

Harsh colours strike you - The dark water, Grey paint and red waterline , the orange of rust like open wounds in the metal. A ship's hull lies languid against the quay, with deep scratches of wear, like scars of forgotten voyages. The sun is bright, relentless, without softness. Everything is exposed: the dirt, the past, the discolourations of time.

A mooring pole stands stiffly, the harsh sunlight and dark shadows, The water glistens hard, almost sharp, in the light. No movement, the discoloured paint on the steel and the gentle sloshing against the hull. A quiet moment, rough in nature. Walking along the harbour quay with these images, I enjoy the harbours.

Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port towns are often bustling centres of trade 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.
