Fine Art: Honorable Mention 2018 (amateur)
A Day in the Forties by SangHoon Rhee (Korea, Republic of)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In Korea, it is harsh for men to live in their late forties. They are ages that will need a lot of money to raise their children. But they are also the age when they are forced to retire from the company. So they are forced to the highest intensity of labor in order not to be kicked out of the company. The man in the picture is a researcher who is unemployed and working temporarily. This photo shows a man in his forties wandering in the midst of his dark situation and bright society. This picture was taken with the Hasselblad 903 SWC. The film was Kodak Tri-X400. It was scanned with the Nikon SuperCoolScan 9000ED.
