Jalari Peta
Andhra Pradesh
A working fishing settlement on the coast, and that is the whole character of it. Boats, nets and colour that needs no arranging make this documentary ground rather than a portrait backdrop, and the pictures that come out of it are better for being taken around the work rather than in place of it.

A working fishing settlement on the coast, and that is the whole character of it. Boats, nets and colour that needs no arranging make this documentary ground rather than a portrait backdrop, and the pictures that come out of it are better for being taken around the work rather than in place of it.
What we photograph here
Documentary and editorial sessions, and portrait work for families from the neighbourhood itself.
Planning around the place
This is somebody's workplace before it is a location, and we treat it that way. We photograph early while the boats are the point, keep the crew to the smallest it can be, ask before setting anything down, and never move a boat or a net to improve a frame. Permission here is asked of people, not of an office.
