The port of Rotterdam at dusk

The port of Rotterdam is bathed in dusk. In a dock, a colossal crane ship lies silently moored for maintenance, its silhouette sharply outlined against the last glow of the day. At the jetties, barges wait patiently, waiting to load and unload in the endless activity of Europe's largest port. As darkness slowly descends, the lights awaken: lamps flicker on the ships, on the quays, in the masts. The port changes colour and shape - from steel and water by day, to a world of spots of light and shadows at night.

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.
