Saleh is a fisherman on the remote island of Socotra, Yemen. Photographer Henley Spiers spent many days with these fishermen, observing how they live, how they work, and how little separates a good day from a bad one. Saleh practices handline fishing, lowering hooks baited with scraps into the water. When a fish bites, he hauls the line in hand over hand, sometimes using his teeth to keep tension. The method is simple but effective. While the fishermen's catch is modest—often sold for just a few dollars—it sustains their daily livelihood.
