Smoke on the Water

Smoke on the Water

Laurence Donoghue: Laurence is a UK based photographer often drawn to the sea. Shooting on celluloid film, his photographs try to grab onto ephemeral, fleeting moments and reflect the bittersweetness of trying to hold onto something that cannot stay. 

Story Behind the Image: A fishing vessel coming back from a refitting catches fire off the coast of Cornwall. I caught this during a matinee performance at The Minack Theatre, where I was working at the time. The performance was stopped, in part because some of the fishing crew were relations of the theatre staff. The Coast Guard attended and all got off safe. A surreal moment of real life upstaging drama. This image was captured on high ISO film, with the pronounced grain adding to its atmosphere and lending it a soft, dreamlike quality.

Paper: This piece is printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, a heavyweight (308gsm), bright white, 100% cotton rag paper with a smooth matte finish. This is an archival print designed to last 100+ years.
