My theme through this shoot was 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.

Conclusion
In this shoot i went down to Brixham Fish Quay to take photos of the fishing boats. I mainly focused on Pilgrim the oldest surviving Brixham Trawler in the world. But I also took photos of more modern boats so i had a contrast of old and new. If I do another shoot on this topic i would like to capture images of more boats and different types of trawler so the photos contrast with each other.
