Australian photographer Hugh Brown captured a group of men working as artisanal miners in along the Wouri river in Cameroon.

In the search of capturing men and women working in some of the most 'spectacular', remote and 'dangerous' work environments, he found the subsistence miners fetching wet sand from the river bed to be transported up the river and sold for construction purposes.

The divers risk their lives daily to make a living out of jumping to the bottom at least a 100 times in a shift. They make use of 3 kg steel buckets with holes punched in the bottom that aids the sand collect in the bucket.
