About

Arxipelag: Captain Paul Watson is an editorial photo series that offers an intimate, documentary-style look into the maritime life and workspace of Captain Paul Watson. Photographed by Iris Humm, the work captures the daily rhythms aboard a wood-paneled vessel through a series of grounded, observational portraits and still lifes. The imagery leans into a warm, analogue aesthetic, utilizing natural light to accentuate the textures of nautical interiors, handwritten correspondence, and personal artifacts. By focusing on tactile details—from bundles of vintage mail and ship badges to the cabin's weathered wood grain—the project establishes a candid atmosphere that emphasizes the human experience behind the subject's work.
