Corey Arnold
Corey Arnold is a fishing photographer. He takes photos of fishing boats and equipment. I chose him as his photos show the environmental issues of fishing. This ties in with my issue based shoot about environmental issues with fishing. His work often has action shots of the boats this is what i am trying to capture with my sailing shoots. He also takes photos of the equipment and the catch. My second shoot on this topic is about the equipment so i have taken inspiration from his work.

My Responce
To take my images in response to his work i went to Brixham Fish Quay and took pictures of the fishing boats there. I mainly focused on "Pilgrim" the worlds oldest surviving Brixham trawler. But i also took photos of the newer boats this shows contrast between old and new. I also tried to capture images of the more battered boats this shows how harsh the environment is out at sea and how the overfishing of certain species has meant that fishermen are not making enough money to maintain their boats.
