Taming giants

A group of men work in a ship graveyard, pulling hundreds of pounds of metal out of the water and selling it for a measly 150 dollars a ton. It's a titanic battle against giants that have fallen asleep at the bottom of the sea, that they can only win with strength, courage and teamwork

About Artist

João Coelho

I have always been fascinated by the human condition and its study has been a major driving force in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I want my photography to evoke feelings, emotions, and convey messages by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual aid, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future.
