Along with its several small islands, Sicily is located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Its southern geographical position makes Sicily a great place for fishing.
The fish markets in Sicily are full of chaos but also community, a place to discuss daily events. So many coastal towns welcome their fisherman each morning and the big decision everyday is which fish to buy for lunch, how we will prepare it and with whom we will share it. Preparing and cleaning the fish, as well as boat and net maintence is also a community event amongst fellow fisherman.
Traditional fishing in Sicily is a 3 year project captured in black and white and began in 2016. Exploring the coastline of Palermo, La Cala, Mondello, Barcarello, Sferracavallo, Isola delle Femmine, Terrasini and the markets in the centre of Palermo, Mercato del Capo and Ballaro Market.
