Australia: The Mosman Art Gallery in association with the Sydney Fish Market are working together to present a photographic expose of life behind the scenes at the largest working seafood market in the southern hemisphere.

Photographer Birgit Neiser has captured the essence of life and work at the market, documenting its vibrant atmosphere at Sydney's harbourside location.

Trading over 13,000 tonnes of seafood annually, Sydney Fish Market has over 100 species passing through its auction daily.

"People tend to underestimate the qualities of this place. To many, they just think it is about dead fish, dirty work and rough people," said Ms Neiser.

"They don't see the pride that the workers have in their jobs and in the market – that they genuinely feel part of this place."

The exhibit is open at the Mosman Art Gallery in Sydney from June 13 to July 26.
