I spent the day on a cargo ship down at Durban harbour, it was part of the SAMSA International Conference with delegates from all over the world. They commissioned me to photograph the inspection of a cargo ship from China. It was about to set sail for USA and needed to pass inspection before doing so. I have to take my hat off to the crew, some of them had been at sea for four months and they were still willing and enthusiastic to help with anything they could.
It was a tiring day and quite demanding from a photography point of view. We went up and down stairs, through tiny doors, up and down ladders, over massive pipes, then in bright rooms then dark rooms then passages and I was constantly shooting whilst changing a multitude of settings on both cameras whilst negotiating this maze of obstacles. It definately wasn’t for the faint at heart but I somehow managed to get some great results, have a look:
