In the Seychelles, fishing is woven into daily life, shaping communities, livelihoods and the relationship between humans and the sea. Published as a feature for Vice, I followed fishers from the beautiful first light on the beach to the open Indian Ocean, capturing the hands that haul nets, the markets where the catch is sold, and the crews working on the tuna trawlers. The project documents the spectrum of fishing from small-scale, artisanal practice to industrial fleets and how both operate within a fragile ecosystem. The piece asks whether fishing can ever truly be sustainable, the images explore the tension between tradition and modernity and the delicate balance of living from the ocean while trying to protect it.
