Taming a giant
A group of men work in a ship graveyard, pulling hundreds of pounds of metal out of the water and selling it for a measly 150 dollars a ton. It's a titanic battle against giants that have fallen asleep at the bottom of the sea, that they can only win with strength, courage and teamwork

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
