From the same photographer, a trip aboard the Yannick - Youtube video
Freelance photographer, Antoine Soubigou spent 17 days in the Irish Sea on board the Cherbourg trawler, Yannick, to show the working conditions and lives of fishermen. "This story I really wanted to do," he insists.
In 30 color photographs and video, Antoine Soubigou tells of the adjustment period being at sea, life on board, hauling the trawl, the pace of work ... "Being on the bridge every 3 hours, day and night, and working in all weather conditions requires physical and mental qualities," he says with admiration.
The role of the skipper to find fish, the versatility of the mechanic "who has a hat for cooking between maintenance and maintenance" deafness from the being exposed to the hum of the engine regularly and he misses nothing, otherwise the smell of diesel and fish.
A story larger than life and a tribute to the men of the sea "to the profound dedication with which they carry out this difficult and dangerous profession."If you happen to be over in France and find yourself in Carteret you can catch an exhibition of the photographs and the video until September 4, every day (except Wednesday), 15 h 30-19 h 30, at the Light and Wind Gallery, 14, rue Cape Carteret. Free admission.
