We are DOCKS, a collective of five documentary photographers founded in 2018. Since then, we have been working both as individual authors and on collective projects. We act upon a shared open-mindedness, honesty and sensitivity.
For us, collaborative work is a method that allows us to suspend and question the classic egocentric perspective of documentary photography.
