War on the Biosphere

A shark market on Bintan — the boats, the middlemen, the fins set to dry. Unflinching by intent. 35 photographs, full size — scroll to see them all.

A note before you scroll: several of these photographs are graphic — dead sharks, fins being cut. They're included as documentation, not spectacle.
