Hartlepool Fishing Co

I finally got to the right place to take photos of the fishermen. After hanging around the marina for a couple of weeks then ending up at the huge high security docks, I eventually got to south end where Hartlepool fishing co is based. When I arrived I had a small induction with the manager and then I could go and take pictures of whatever I wanted.

I was amazed at how much stuff there was laying around and in between all the lobster pots and rope all the bits of fish that would get cough up in it all would be chucked onto the floor and left. This created the strongest fish smell I had ever smelt!

Once I was done with taking photos of the mounds of equipment, I walked down onto the pontoon where the fishermen that hadn't gone out to sea were working on their boats. Some of them were more friendly that others, but by being polite I got photos of them all.

These are all the photos from the fishing key.

When I got back to have a look at the photos, I decided I only wanted to use the ones I had just taken in my presentation and to end with a couple from the fish shop. I couldn't decide if I wanted to have them in colour or black and white because I had been thinking I wanted to do it in a documentary style and keep them all in black and white but some of the colours are a bit of a shame not to show so I have done a mix of both.

These are my final images for my presentation.
