Hamburg Native Rolf Nobel Honors 'Workers of the Sea' in New Book

Veteran photographer Rolf Nobel, a native of Hamburg, has explored nearly 50 countries in his professional career. His work, which often focuses on 'workers of the sea', has taken him to four continents and resulted in a compelling book titled 'Workers of the Sea'.

Nobel's fascination with the sea began in his childhood, inspired by his father's tales and matchboxes collected from sailors. This early curiosity led him to document life-threatening coastal professions throughout his life.

His book features people whose livelihoods are increasingly at risk, honouring their dangerous work and bravery. Nobel has photographed a wide range of these professionals, capturing their unique stories and preserving them for future generations.

With 'Workers of the Sea', Rolf Nobel pays tribute to those who brave the sea for their livelihood. His photographs serve as a reminder of the risks these individuals face and the importance of their work.
