Fishery Varga

Summer, shortly before sunrise: Photographer Alex Lang, from Weiden in Burgenland, greets the Varga family fishermen in the morning dawn. As the sun appears, the fascinating spectacle begins. Fishermen and photographer work side by side, unhurried and authentic. “The aim of this photographic project”, says Lang, “was to capture these moments, which for outsiders have such a special quality, just as the Vargas family experiences them every day, becoming a part of their craft as a silent observer. The day warms up; tranquillity is accompanied by the sound of hungry gulls, the expanse of the ocean and the inevitable peace that nature radiates.
