Gathering Scallops

A breathtaking study in collective strength and the rewards of the sea. Gathering Scallops brings you right onto the water alongside three Panamanian fishermen working as a single, synchronized unit to haul their overflowing nets into the boat. Bending under the immense weight of the daily harvest, the crew's effort is rendered with powerful movement and authentic detail. Al Sprague captures not just the physical labor, but the quiet rhythm and shared purpose that defines Panama’s rich fishing legacy.
