Photographer Rolf Nobel Honors 'Workers of the Sea' in Global Journey
Photographer Rolf Nobel, a native of Hamburg, has explored nearly 50 countries, capturing the essence of 'workers of the sea' across four continents. His new book, 'Workers of the Sea', showcases these individuals whose livelihoods are under threat.
Inspired by his father's work as a stevedore in the harbor, Rolf's fascination with distant places and the sea began early. Over years, he photographed seaweed collectors, crab fishermen, and lighthouse keepers, among others, immortalizing their daily struggles and triumphs.
Rolf's work takes readers on a global journey, from the icy waters of the North Sea to the tropical coasts of the Indian Ocean, without explicitly naming the countries visited.
Through 'Workers of the Sea', Rolf Nobel pays tribute to the resilience and dedication of those who make their living from the sea. His photographs serve as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by these communities in an ever-changing world.
