Two Fishermen Preparing Nets by the Sea — Black & White

Two fishermen by a quiet sea, standing at a weathered quay as they carefully prepare heavy nets. In the background, traditional wooden boats with curved hulls rest at the calm water, their rigging and masts forming a timeless silhouette. Rendered in black and white with high contrast and subtle film grain, emphasizing tactile textures: rough rope coils, salt-streaked wood, canvas jackets, and the coarse weave of nets. Soft morning light casts long shadows, creating a moody, documentary yet poetic atmosphere. Composition centers on the hands and nets in the foreground, boats fading into a misty horizon, capturing a moment of daily ritual and maritime heritage.
