A fisherman, knee-deep in the river, proudly hauls his day’s catch in a net. An old television set is nestled among a riverbank’s rocks. A Muslim cemetery, looking quiet and peaceful, can be seen nearby.
These are just a few of the 30 black and white photographs (50cm x 70cm) taken by Kuala Lumpur-based French photographer Serge Pagano, which are currently on display at cultural centre Alliance Francaise in KL.

'When I look at the people who live near the Klang River they are mostly happy, they are in direct contact with their environment... The Klang River is part of their life. This is what I try to show in my photographs,' says Pagano. Photo: Serge Pagano
