Cho, Yong Duk in the cabin of his fishing vessel: This low angle composition is an unusual viewpoint with good colour and detail. We'd use this kind of image to illustrate a subject in print or online as it's a less obvious shotPhotograph: Tom White/FlickrAnchors along the shoreline: This is a rather haunting image. The harsh lines of the anchors are quite brutal in contrast to the calm, misty landscape behindPhotograph: Tom White/FlickrFisherman's Gloves: Gloves lie discarded adjacent to caught cuttlefish and squid on the deck of Cho, Yong Duk's fishing vessel. This is a beautiful image of the detritus of fishing. The angle lifts the subject rendering it less ordinaryPhotograph: Tom White/Flickr
Digging for razor clams: Oh, Hee Soon collects razor clams from a beach at low tide. Despite this being a dark subject the light had captured the small details of the clams and texture of the mudPhotograph: Tom White/FlickrWorker: A woman gathers up nets containing young squid dried in the sun on the quayside. The squid are sorted, weighed and boxed to be sent to market. Young, dried fish are a popular side dish at mealtime. The composition would have been better if the figure was less central but the nets give the image movementPhotograph: Tom White/FlickrOh, Young Keun sorting catch: Aboard Cho, Yong Duk's fishing vessel.This image ends the group particularly well as the colour red subtly features throughout providing a cohesion to the setPhotograph: Tom White/Flickr
