‘Harvest from the deep’ is a documentary photography exhibition, all about the North Shields fishing industry.
‘’For the past ten years local photographer, Pete Robinson, has been a man on a mission. Through his project ‘Harvest From The Deep’, he has recorded the working and home lives of our local fishermen - people working in one of the UK’s most dangerous industries. These photographs capture the heart and soul of the North Shields fishing industry.
Like all the best documentary photographers, Pete has taken time to get to know the people he photographs, going out with them on fishing trips for ten hours or more, with painfully early starts, rough seas and seasickness to contend with, in the search for images that capture the harsh realities and camaraderie of life at sea. Photographs that are so evocative you can almost feel the cold, and smell the heady mix of fish, prawns, diesel and cigarette smoke.
Taken in both colour and black and white, these evocative images tell an important story about our town. A story that deserves to be captured and celebrated in this, the 800th anniversary year of the founding of a fishing community on the banks of the River Tyne at North Shields.’’
