Cormorant Fishermen ~ Interview with BlackRapid
I was recently featured and interviewed by BlackRapid camera straps. If you haven't tried their straps I highly recommend them! I have been using their sport strap for quite a while and I love it. Check out the interview if you have a sec.
Here is another Cormorant Fishermen shot from China. Although the previous image from this scene is the “better” shot, I really love this one, and it is one of my favorites of the entire trip.
Thanks for stopping by!!

A big "wow" shot Dan! This is spectacular light and colour and a very cool scene.

Though your previous image at this location was great, I prefer this one for its stronger human element and emotion. Great work!

Wonderful shot, Dan; I especially love the interplay of light and dark, and the facial expression you've captured is perfect

Awesome! Really great lighting & clarity on the fisherman. Nice interview, I'm sure we all can relate to, " I am at the right place at the wrong time much more often then not!" :-)

Hi Dan,
An amazing photograph! Beyond normal adjectives at this point. So impressive.... years ago, one of the only photographs I have purchased was a similar shot done by Art Wolfe. As with your amazing photographs, I was so taken with the scene, the lighting, and the subject matter that I bought it. Very rare for me. Damn, I should have waited, I could have had one of your shots!
But these images are every bit as brilliant as Art's, and he's a really good nature photographer so that puts you in fine company. Great, great work, Dan!
Also, hey, I use a BlackRapid strap, and love it. It's the only strap that's long enough for me since I like to carry a camera around my hip. Anyway, congratulations on the honor and recognition of your amazing work.
Thanks for your generous comment on my post today... coming from you, I feel honored. Thanks again!
The very best to you in your photographic future! Take care, Doug.

Very cool. I love the old man's face, and what phenomenal lighting you captured for this!
Kevin Wedgworth (19 months ago | reply)
Brilliant capture! Love the lighting upon this fisherman's face.
Luke Hertzfeld (19 months ago | reply)
I think I just saw an article in Outdoor Photographer about the Cormorant fisherman. I'm still in absolute awe over the last image you posted, just incredible! But, I really like this shot too. There is more of an intimate feel to this image. You can see the wonderful details of the gentlemans weathered face. Signs of time and wisdom that escapes youth. Wonderful image Dan!
