Photographer records the strangest professions in the world [gallery]
Nancy Rica Schiff is a photographer based in New York (USA) and Florence (Italy) who spends much of her time searching for the world's most unusual professions. After working in the field for 15 years, it is possible to say that Schiff is almost an expert in weird jobs.
To record everything his eyes saw, Schiff decided to photograph people at his unconventional workplaces. The result of this work has been brought together in two very peculiar books: “Odd Jobs” (published in 2002) and “Odder Jobs” (from 2006).
The beginning of everything
According to the British newspaper The Daily Mail, it all started in 1989, when the photographer was fascinated to realize that every day there were people who came out of their homes to do totally unusual work.
To reach such a wide range of professionals, the photographer reveals that she researched a lot, but also had tips from others and a lot of luck. “Since it was a personal project, without anyone's sponsorship, I searched the United States for strange professions, staying with friends and gathering jobs in nearby cities, ” explains Schiff.
The person responsible for the images you will see below also says that she always sought a touch of humor when selecting professionals. In addition, the inversions interested him especially, as in the case of the woman who designs underwear and the man who tests tampons. Be sure to check it out!
