TITLE: The Throw

This photographic series was made at Sassoon Dock in Mumbai, a crowded public waterfront where work unfolds in full view, shaped by movement, proximity, and human exchange.

The images focus on a single repeated street action: fish being thrown from boats to the dock. Captured midair between sea and land, this brief moment becomes the visual core of the series.

Through lifting, throwing, and catching, fishermen perform a daily, unscripted choreography. Bodies lean forward, hands extend instinctively, and timing replaces language. Each gesture depends on trust, precision, and physical endurance, turning routine labor into a shared act within a dense public space.

Although rooted in work, these moments unfold like street photography: fast, unpredictable, and human. The dock functions as a meeting point where people, goods, and gestures constantly intersect. Every throw connects individuals across distance, relying on coordination rather than words.

The sea serves as both provider and uncertain force, while the dock represents order and control. The act of throwing bridges these two realms, revealing a fragile balance between human effort and natural supply.

Photographed in black and white, the series emphasizes motion, weight, and repetition—isolating an ordinary street gesture that quietly sustains life and livelihood.

AUTHOR: Sharon Tribelsky (Israel)

My name is Sharon Tribelsky.
I am an Israeli photographer, born in 1960 and am married with 3 children, living on Kibbutz Bet Zera which is in the Jordan Valley.
I graduated four years of photography studies from Canada Wizo College in Haifa.
My love of photography began after my release from 3-years of army service and a further 3 years of extensive travel around the world, at the end of which I decided to take my hobby seriously and study the subject at college, knowing then that it would always be a part of my life.
For a period of fifteen years I was involved in industrial and commercial photography and also managed a photography studio in my kibbutz.

Today I am a freelancer and take photographs mainly of nature and views. I live in Kibbutz Bet Zera which is in the Jordan Valley and within walking distance of the Kinneret (The Sea of Galilee)
I have been taking photographs of the Kinneret for over 20 years – both black/white and colour.
The lake has magical and mysterious qualities which have always attracted me to it and to which I find myself returning time and time again.

Maybe it is the light and the surrounding views of the beautiful Jordan Valley or maybe it is the ancient Jewish and Christian history that the whole area is steeped in and that so many sites in the area are connected to.
I love to take photographs in the magical hours of the twilight and the dusk and also just before and during the dawn. I find that when there is very little light in the sky, the low angle of the sun's rays creates a special mysterious atmosphere – both on the water
and in the sky.
