The Fisherman Photo

Photographer’s Note

Inle is a freshwater lake situated among the mountains of Shan State in Myanmar. 'Intha' are the peoples of this lake. Most are devout Buddhists, and live in simple houses of wood and woven bamboo on stilts. Local fishermen such as this one are well known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar (although not depicted here).

Hi Arif,

Nice compo with the guy on his boat! I do like your gallery and more people should have a look at it! Perhaps I would have placed the guy a bit more off-center, but I also like it as it is posted.
I added a workshop with a bit more sharpness. Hope you like it!

Greetings, Dennis
