This is a body of work by Stephen Robert Thornton from his early days, before he was commissioned to shoot commercial assignments. This project, titled ‘FISH TOWN’, was documented in the years leading up to the new introduction of European Union laws in the summer of 1990, which ended a way of life for generations of fishermen, fish dock workers and the community. These unique photographs were previously only sold as large-format, limited-edition, numbered, and signed prints and were purchased by private collectors and corporate buyers at exhibitions and galleries.
All prints from the FISH TOWN collection can be printed to any size up to 64 inches on its longest length. Please contact Jo Jo via the enquiries button above for print specs and pricing. These prints are an original way to decorate an office or home environment.
