A Falmouth exhibition will look at the livelihoods of those living in Newlyn, England’s largest fishing port.

In the photographic exhibition, renowned photo-journalist Vince Bevan explores the story of the fishermen in the port, in a selection of images from his photo-essay Newlyn: Fishing for a Living.

Commercial fishing is still one of the country’s most dangerous industries. Even with modern boats and equipment serious injury and loss of life are commonplace and vessels are regularly lost in what has always been one of the harshest of working environments.

Photographer Vince Bevan said: “With rising fuel cost and the restrictive quotas placed on fishermen it seems as though every other day we read about the pressures faced by fishing communities. These photographs portray a way of life that is increasingly under threat.”

Newlyn: Fishing for a Living, opens on January 7 and runs until February 26.
