He is the younger brother of the 83 years old fisherman I showed last week, I ran into the older brother along the Li River bank while I was taking a morning walk.. With him I actually booked an one on one session from 5am to 7am. what I had to do? Got up 4am in the morning with my gear and rode a similar bamboo raft to meet him in this remote location which was totally an awesome experience in itself. I know this is just another fisherman in the Li River here in the 500px.. I know the fishermen are no longer fishing for a living and only pose for tourists and togs.... But they are absolutely awesome and their connections with the iconic river and mountain have such historical significances, so here is my take as a tribute to them, hope you enjoy. The BEST (and only) paid session I ever spent I might add. Processing wise, it was shot at dawn, original image was quite dark and noisy, it also didn't have much color to begin with, I actually de-saturated it even further hoping to recreate that mystic feel I experienced that morning.
