EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of childhood innocence and adventure. The image features a group of young boys from the Bajau Laut community in Sabah, Malaysia, known as the sea people, donning goggles as they navigate their traditional canoes on the Celebes Sea. Their faces are filled with curiosity and determination, reflecting their deep connection to the ocean that surrounds them.
The composition of the photograph is striking, with the boys positioned against a backdrop of vast waterscape that stretches out into the horizon. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the simplicity and purity of their way of life.
Through this documentary-style portrait, photographer Kieron Long offers viewers a glimpse into a world where children grow up surrounded by nature's beauty and challenges. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of these coastal communities who rely on fishing for their livelihoods.
Overall, this image is not just a visual representation but also an emotional narrative that speaks volumes about culture, tradition, and human connection to our natural environment. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with water and how it shapes our identities.
