Theme: Professions

This issue features miners, firemen, farmers, boxers and dockworkers. We focus, in other words, on people that enable our society to function, through their expertise and hard labour. However odd their jobs might be. Depending on the culture, different professions hold varying degrees of power, prestige and value.

From India to Great Britain, we have found photographers who are concerned with professions that are under threat of extinction; that have changed due to technological innovation and scientific progression, or that have become obsolete due to changes in the political system.
