Poland: Baltic Fishermen
"Fishing quotas in the Baltic Sea are now regulated by the European Commission. From time to time, they are source of some disputes between Poland, Denmark and Germany who all have large fishing fleets in the same area of the Baltic Sea. There are economic interests at stake here, and in Poland alone, more than 5000 people have their livelihood in the Baltic cod fishing industry."
Those remarks by Piotr Malecki accompany his photo essay Poland: Baltic Fishermen now appearing on Gaia Photos, that documents the daily lives of fishermen working on the Baltic Sea.
Gaia Photos is a new international photography source comprised of 41 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.
Born in Warsaw, Poland in 1967, Piotr Malecki studied filmmaking at the Katowice University in Poland and photography at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design in Great Britain.
In the early 1990's Piotr began his photojournalism career as a staff photographer at "Wprost", the Polish newsweekly magazine. In the mid-1990's he decided to become a freelancer.
While shooting self-assigned and commissioned photo features in Eastern Europe, Piotr often travels to more far-away places to produce picture stories. Furthermore, Piotr often shoots portraits, artists, politicians and businessmen while on assignments for magazines and newspapers in Poland, Germany, Great Britain and USA.
Piotr Malecki is represented by Panos photo agency while based in Warsaw, Poland and is available for assignments.
