Using manual labor for the tasks which are usually carried out by heavy-duty machines in other parts of the world is quite normal in Bangladesh. In this series, I managed to capture workers unloading the coal from the massive ships using just baskets on the top of their heads. I probably don't have to mention how exhausting this job is, but seeing the human chain of porters coming in and out effortlessly was mesmerizing.
