The ocean liner is moored at the jetty. by Scheepskijker Havenfotografie

The ocean-going vessel is moored at the jetty. Ballast water is pumped out through the locker hole, creating a strong image. The huge bow of a loaded ship dominates the harbour. Rusty anchors hang against the reddish-black skin, with clear traces of hauling along the bulb. Rust streaks run down into the dark harbour water. The wind is blowing. Everything feels hard and unfinished. A raw picture of a rough harbour.

Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port towns are often bustling centres of trade and industry, with ships, trucks and trains moving back and forth to load and unload goods. This offers photographers the opportunity to capture beautiful images of large ships docked at the quayside, crane machines loading and unloading containers from and onto the ships, and workers busy at work. Port photography can be challenging, as there is often a lot of movement and activity, and the light is constantly changing. But when the right moments are captured, port photo's can produce impressive and inspiring images.
