FISHERMEN OF THE GALATA BRIDGE
During a photo trip to Istanbul, I photographed these men and women who stand at the edge of the Galata Bridge fishing endlessly for the chance of a small catch. Their rods line the bridge like a forest.
I tried to capture their conviction, their patience, unwavered by less than favorable weather.
The mens appearences were expansive, some were young men, barely 30. Showing the clear heritage and history of the fishing performed on the bridge.
In many of the men you could see how standing on this bridge for years with the wind and sun on their faces, had weathered their appearence.
Most of the men had multiple rods, often placed on homemade stands, specifically designed to mount to the bridges design.
The number of fisherman mean that catches are often lessened when the weather is pleasant, however the men still attend due to the massive social aspect of being a ‘Fisherman of the Galata Bridge’.
