1. Corey Arnold is a photographer and commercial fisherman. In his series, Fish Work, Arnold takes photographs of his time in the Bering Sea. For the photos shot outdoors, Arnold increased his shutter speed and aperture to capture his surroundings. With a high shutter speed, Arnold is able to include a sharp image of the ocean waves and sea spay against the boat. With a high aperture, Arnold is able to bring in more light to his photographs. Arnold also must of had between a 100-200 ISO so that his images would be clear and colorful. The orange buoys and clothing stand out in his images.
2. The intent for Arnold's series is to show the viewer what being at sea in Alaska is like. With frigid temperatures, constantly swaying on the boat, and birds flying around the boat, Arnold is able to create a clear image for the viewer. Arnold most likely used a wide angle lens to capture the entire surroundings of the boat. It creates a sense of isolation on the boat, as you are out at sea and there is no sight of land anywhere. Especially when you think about being at sea in Alaska and notice the snow, ice, and water that are constantly being thrown at the fishermen.
3. I really admire Arnold's photographs because of they involve lots of motion. With the constant swaying of the boat, being hit by waves, and capturing the spray of the waves is very sharp. It is even more amazing to think about how still Arnold had to be holding his camera in order to get a sharp clear image.
