Labour Series

Work is inescapable. In order to maintain our lives, we must give a significant portion of them to something other than ourselves. In dangerous and labour intensive jobs, people will destroy their bodies simply to sustain them. In the greater human context, the number of occupations spread across times, places, and economic conditions are diverse and exciting, but to the individual it can be utter tedium.
Day in. 
Day out. 
This series, entitled “Labour”, was produced across Southeast Asia, in Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar. It is an attempt to document this daily tedium with a 50mm lens.
