Waitrose worker’s rights in UK fishing. December 2022.

It was taken as part of a 6 month project documenting life on four fishing boats, working in four different fisheries (nephrops, crab, white fish and scallops), in all four countries of the UK for @waitrose in collaboration with @stellamaris the @seafarerscharity and @itf.

I spent up to five days on each, sleeping, eating, working alongside the fishermen and the results were a photo series and short info films for the international fishing crews that come to work in our seafood sector to better understand the working conditions, their rights, pay, hours, contracts etc to reduce abuse.

AOPf22 Behind The Scenes is an exhibition shot by women photographers which shows in parallel each of the photographers in action behind the lens. See it, be it. By increasing the visibility of women photographers, AOPf22 hope to inspire and encourage the next generation of female image makers rise up and help achieve that magic 50/50 representation in the industry.
