Catch shows the many ways people across the continent go about catching fish. There is a Chinese proverb that says, "don't stand by the water and long for fish; go home and weave a net." Fishing has been one of man's main pursuits throughout the ages. Asia's oceans, lakes and rivers provide for a substantial part of people's diets. Ingenious contraptions and clever devices have been constructed to gather a bountiful catch or simply to ensure there is food on the table. Nets come in all colors, shapes and sizes, rods short and long, bamboo traps, small enough to hold a handful of river crabs or over-sized to capture a catfish of monstrous proportions.
Catch highlights the extraordinary diversity of fishing methods across Asia; enriched by inspirational Asian quotes and proverbs related to the act of fishing. It is a wonderful photographic journey about those who make a living from the sea. Evocative images that illustrate the unique cultural traditions of Asia's fishermen, from the quietly contemplative rod and line to the beautifully crafted boats. A fascinating insight.
