Quota – changes within modern society
Clovelly Harbour
Today we talk to Charlie Perham about his image series called ‘Quota’:
“Quota is an ongoing documentary piece concerned with the representation of communities and the individuals that form them; it explores cultures & traditions in the face of changes within modern society. Primarily the Quota system, brought upon the fishing industry some 20 years ago, which replaced traditional small-scale practices which were often more than family run businesses; they were craft, knowledge and a lifestyle, which had survived for hundreds of years, but are seemingly being replaced with large-scale private industry.
The Image above shows Clovelly Harbour “shot at 6am in the morning before going fishing with one of the last traditional Herring Fishermen, my father.
