Allison Harper, Clan Jetties of Penang (Portrait 2020)

I spent time living with and photographing the residents of the Clan Jetties of Penang. These portraits are taken from my series "Beneath the Tourists Gaze". The Unesco listing has saved the jetties but tourism is a double edged sword. The young generation crave modernity and desire to live elsewhere so the future is uncertain.
