Flagstaff Cinematographer Reels in Emmy For "Deadliest Catch"

Matt Fahey

The Primetime Emmys aired last night. And a Flagstaff-based cinematographer won an award for his work on the Discovery Channel's hit show, "Deadliest Catch". It follows the lives - and sometimes deaths - of king crab fishermen in the Bering Sea. But before braving big waves at sea, Matt Fahey braved them in the Grand Canyon as a Colorado River guide. He spoke with Arizona Public Radio's Gillian Ferris Kohl about handling rough seas, salty dogs and still getting the award winning shot.

Gillian Ferris was the News Director and Managing Editor for KNAU.
