There are many dying cultural traditions around the world and stilt fishing is one of them. Being an island, Sri Lanka has a deep connection with the ocean. We had gotten behind schedule to reach this location in time before sunset and on arrival both myself and the film crew had very little time to plan our shots. I took a huge risk knowing I had literally a few minutes to get something before the light would deteriorate rapidly. Taking my camera way back up the beach to use the 70-200mm lens was the only option because the film crew also needed to capture a sequence of me at work with the lens. On this particular occasion I would have probably chosen a different lens if I had the choice but I managed to improvise. However, getting the fishermen to remain still was a challenge that had to be coordinated with team work consuming more time I didn’t really have to set up this shot idea. In the end, just in the nick of time and with my heart racing knowing it was an all or nothing situation I was in, I managed to get this photo captured seconds before the sun disappeared behind the clouds.

City to Wilderness | Sri Lanka is a series that comes from Joseph’s second bespoke designed limited edition photobook. He was sent there on a 5 day long assignment by Nikon covering 1500 km across the island by road and rail with a brief to come back with images of wildlife and travel captured using only one lens, the new Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E. He also had time to use other lenses occasionally and set out to photograph everything from scenes in bustling market places to diverse landscapes and wildlife - both on land and in the ocean. His vision was to create photographs with a strong sense of place, hoping that the series of images would convey the diversity of Sri Lanka as he saw it in the time he was there. The journey was also turned into a film for Nikon as part of their 100 year anniversary campaign. A journey which took him from city to wilderness.
There are 90 Limited edition books available out of 100 containing 39 photographs from the assignment. 10 books have been pre sold. Six (6) photos have been selected as NFTs in editions of 15 each to go with the books. One NFT per book. There are also a limited number of book sized prints of “Stilt fishermen at sunset” that can be included on a first come first serve basis. All books will be signed and numbered according to the remaining numbers available. Personal messages can be included on request. Worldwide shipping available including to P.O. Box addresses.
