EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark reality faced by Greek fishermen as stocks continue to deplete. The image showcases a fishing net from Panagiotis Pagonis' boat, "Katerina" gently floating off the shore of Asprovalta, Greece. Taken on June 11,2018, by talented photographer Alexandros Avramidis for Reuters Images, this picture tells a profound story. The vibrant blue sky and crystal-clear water provide a stunning backdrop to this scene. With no people in sight, the focus is solely on the fishing net suspended in mid-air against the breathtaking horizon line. The surrounding mountains add an element of serenity while emphasizing the connection between nature and man's livelihood. The composition highlights both beauty and despair simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that these hardworking individuals are facing immense challenges due to dwindling fish populations. As stocks continue to decline, Greek fishermen are left with no choice but to send their boats to scrap. Avramidis masterfully captures not only the physical elements of this photograph but also evokes emotions through his lens. This thought-provoking image encourages viewers to reflect upon our relationship with nature and how our actions impact delicate ecosystems. With its creative use of space and impeccable timing capturing wet waves crashing against the shore, this print stands as a powerful testament to both human resilience and environmental fragility within Greece's fishing industry.
