From Sea to Plate: Telling the Story of Maine’s Fishing Industry

Finally able to share some of the images I created for the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association this winter.

Fishermen—and the working waterfronts they depend on—are a defining part of Maine’s culture and identity. Those tied to the fishing industry work in challenging, ever-changing conditions, both at sea and on shore.

That’s why I was excited to collaborate with a team producing a video story about the journey from a net in Casco Bay to a plate in a local restaurant. In just one day, we photographed on the water, at the fish exchange, in a market, and behind the scenes in a busy kitchen.

This is the kind of human-centered visual storytelling I love—partnering with organizations to highlight real people doing essential work.
