Traditional Fish Drying in Rural South Asia

A wide-angle, documentary-style photograph capturing a young boy working in a traditional outdoor fish-drying yard. The scene is framed through rows of translucent, sun-dried fish hanging in the foreground, creating a natural bokeh and a strong sense of depth. The boy stands in the center, dressed in a white graphic t-shirt, carefully tending to hundreds of fish laid out on bamboo mats to cure under the bright, midday sun. The background features weathered corrugated metal fencing, highlighting the rustic and industrial nature of this coastal livelihood.
