by hand
The detail in this shot reflects how hard (and specific) this work is.
simplicity
I like the sense of vastness and being exposed.
early start
At altitude, it was quite cool in the first hours, represented by the dark colours and red hat.
Cavern
A seemingly endless field of fresh tea leaves, a beautiful woman, and some interesting lines.
first stage
Initial sorting made interesting with one worker in all red amongst all the green.
lines
Contradiction of inside vs. outside, fluorescent light vs. sunlight, metal rows vs. natural branches.
transformation
Juxtaposition of hands.
Taste
The yellow hat connects the shot to the series. I quite like the sharpness of focus.
Colours
Branding captured during a tea break in the plantation lunch room.
Split
Clean cool air punctuated by the sky 'window' at the end of the path.
Silohettes
A wariness at the end of a long day.
Friendly
A guard waves as we pass the entry gate he's opened. His happiness was reflective of all the people I encountered there.
