From the bottom of the ocean
It all begins at the bottom of this bay, a dark and gloomy world where a group of fearless young men brave immense risks to salvage iron from sunken ships. It's a titanic effort that only ends on the beach when they manage to get the heavy pieces onto motorcycles to be weighed down

About Artist
João Coelho
Human condition has always fascinated me and its study has been a main driver in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I intend my photography to arouse feelings, emotions, and convey messages, by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual help, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future
