Issue Shoot
All Images Are Individually Analysed On Their Respective Page
I themed this shoot around "The Environmental Issues Of Fishing" I chose this as i felt it fit in well with the topic title "Issues" throughout
this shoot
I tried to capture older,
more battered fishing boats. I wanted this as it emphasises how the over
fishing of certain species has impacted the fishing trade and the environment.
I have shown this by showing rusty, well used boats to show how much the boats
get used and how overfishing has made it so fishermen cannot afford to keep
their boats in good condition. I also took images of one of the last remaining Brixham
trawlers that died out due to higher demand for fish meaning better boats were
needed to meet the quota. I also linked these shoots to the photographer of my choice 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.
