Our Notes
This photograph is part of a project titled ‘'Sustain’ which is a comprehensive long-form project by John Angerson, documenting communities worldwide whose very existence hinges on the sea for their sustenance. Angerson captures the essence of a fading industry that is teetering on the brink of extinction. Grundarfjörður, is a coastal town cradled within Iceland's Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The town's profound ties to the fishing trade are woven into its historical fabric and collective identity. For generations, Grundarfjörður has depended on the sea as the backbone of its economy, a heritage that finds annual celebration in its vibrant fishing festivals.

John started his career in the early 1990s with attention to the different languages of documentary photography, focusing on how specific communities form, shift and develop.
John started his career in the early 1990s with attention to the different languages of documentary photography, focusing on how specific communities form, shift and develop.
He now splits his time between shooting personal projects, teaching at various Universities and shooting features and portraiture for a range of magazines, charities, and design agencies. We love his sharp, focused photographs that seemingly capture a split-second moment in time. John’s monograph, Love, Power, Sacrifice (published by Dewi Lewis, Manchester), documented the Jesus Army over twenty years and peers into a microcosm of a fanatical religion. His most recent book; English Journey (published by B&W studio, Leeds) was a 4-year photographic travelogue across England in the footsteps of Bradford author J.B.Priestley. The work was shown in exhibitions across the UK and Europe and the book has sold across three continents since its publication. We’ve been working with John Angerson since 2021.
We love how John's sharp, focused photographs seemingly capture a split-second moment in time. Each of his photographs are a snapshot of an unexplained and often bizarre scene, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks and build their own narrative. From his disparate landscapes to his portraits of famous figures, John leaves the audience wanting more information, whether that be of where the photography was taken or what's happening behind the camera.
