‼️Viewer discretion advised: Images include dead fish as part of the fishing trade in a traditional Sri Lankan fish market.

There’s something quietly beautiful in the stillness of the sea’s offerings.

These were taken during an evening walk in the bustling Fish Auction Market in Negombo, one of the largest fish markets in Sri Lanka where fishing isn’t just a livelihood but a legacy carried through generations.

As I continued my walk I saw tradition and trade reflect in their eyes and the different colours in mine. We stood there quietly observing- connected by place but separated by purpose.
