Fishing is a vital element of Bangladeshi economy, society and culture. Shot in and around the major port city of Chittagong, this portfolio combines several aspects of the fishing iindustry: the unloading of fishing boats in the port, supplying a fresh catch to the adjoining large and lively commercial fish market; the ongoing collective task of mending fishing nets; and the process of salting and drying fish in a large yard near the sea.
