The Art Of Negotiating

On the South Quay in Yarmouth there are always boats that service the offshore gas industry. On one such boat, the Isle Of Jura working for HS Marine, had two telescopic boom cranes on its stern deck. I took a couple of shots of each; both were facing in opposite directions. The picture was a process of adding and/or subtracting different elements, and eventually arriving at a complimentary composition with a credible narrative. The rope was on the quayside. The fabricated girders were stacked in Lowestoft ready to be used. I distorted the girders ( bending a rigid stance) and coloured one of the cranes red (boxing parlance…”and in the red corner….”). It’s all very tenuous, but hey!…artistic licence.
