When Brian Doben began working on At Work over 10 years ago, he had already been a professional photographer for 15 years and felt as though he had lost his voice—or perhaps never found his own voice. Following a near-fatal bike accident, Brian realized that to find inspiration, to find love, he had to spend time with people who love what they do.
From ranchers in Texas to a chemist in Boston, a sumo wrestler in Japan to street performers in Cuba, At Work is a collection of photographs of people “just doing their jobs.” It is a study of our world and how the people in it follow their unique callings. The photographs in At Work capture genuine moments that emerge through conversation, not necessarily direction.
In At Work, Brian Doben celebrates the dignity of work and reminds us to remember what it’s like to do what we love. To have a conversation, capture a moment, relay a message, and create an image you won’t soon forget.
