Industrial Photography
March 10th, 2016
Industrial photography presents some fun challenges. First of all, every location is very different in terms of subject matter, lighting, and general environment/background. This means a photographer is always having to solve problems in order to get the best image possible for his client. Sometimes the goal of the shoot is to sell a product and sometimes it is to sell a service or a manufacturing capability. Depending on the client’s marketing strategy, the results needed are simply the likeness of a product showing it in the best possible light. Other times it is to show the results of complicated manufacturing process in order to sell the process. And other times it is a related image that gets attention.
Here are a couple of examples:
