Craig's latest series of photographs captures the unique spirit of a local event while emphasizing the thrill of competition and the safety measures implemented to protect participants.
The photographs reveal a stunning portrayal of camaraderie among competitors, shown as limbs, socks, and cheeks are covered in grime, symbolizing both the absurdity and charm of the tradition.
Notably, the anonymity of the subjects – showcased by shooting the back of their heads – creates a striking visual effect, presenting the pole climbers as a collective entity.
In his previous series, Craig documented other unconventional customs, proving his ability to convey the essence of offbeat traditions filled with grit and warmth.
