ClockedIn

Clocked In is about ordinary people at work. The jobs are different and so are the places, but the shift is the same: early starts, long hours, work that keeps a city running and rarely gets noticed.

Work takes many forms. Some of it is a stall, a boat or a tuk-tuk. Some of it is a guitar on a pavement. I count it all, because each is someone showing up and earning their living, often on their own terms and at their own risk.

These are not portraits of hardship, and I hope they don't read as pity. I wanted to show concentration, routine and pride in a job done properly. Most of these people never looked up for long. They had work to do.

Twelve photographs. Take your time.
