Ismail Sirdah believes that a human and the ocean are meant for one another. This is why one of his favorite past times is to fish and also photograph while fishing.
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. – John Buchan
The lighting on the ocean is constantly changing, so each image tells a different story. Sirdah says, “Throwing a fishing rod and capturing that moment on camera can tell someone so much. Is the fisherman fishing for fun, or is it for his livelihood? Is he hoping to catch, and does he need it to feed his family?” Each image will always show a different side of the story.
