EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the timeless connection between man and nature as a fisherman and his wife skillfully cast their nets in the shimmering waters of Vembanad Lake. The image, captured by Sivaram V in Kochi, India, on January 24th, 2018, transports us to an open space where the air is filled with anticipation. Although their faces remain unrecognizable, their actions speak volumes about their dedication and expertise. With a creative use of reflection, the photographer allows us to see both above and below the water's surface simultaneously. The vast expanse of sky above mirrors the expansive lake beneath them. This photograph beautifully encapsulates not only a traditional fishing practice but also offers insight into Indian culture. It reminds us that amidst modernity's relentless march forward, there are still those who rely on age-old methods to sustain themselves and honor their environment. The horizon line stretches out before them like an invitation to explore further while weather conditions hint at potential challenges they may face during their work action. As we gaze upon this scene from above, we can almost feel the wetness of our surroundings. With its abundance of copy space surrounding these real people engaged in angling, this print invites contemplation about humanity's relationship with nature. It serves as a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world; there are those who find solace and purpose through simple acts such as catching fish for sustenance or livelihood.
