True Grit! Showcasing Industrial & Construction Work Through My Lens
Some of my favourite photoshoots have been on large construction and industrial sites. Where else can you see structures taking shape through a hive of activity, noise, dust, dirt and machinery! Through my industrial photography I showcase the heroes and their awe inspiring gear that make it all happen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Photography
What happens if the weather turns in an outdoor shoot?
In construction/building weather delays are commonplace, we will often do a weather check the day before and sometimes the day of a shoot.
Just as in an architectural shoot the weather plays an important factor in making sure the story and location is looking it’s best for the shoot.
If a delay happens, we will find a suitable day (often the next day) to reschedule. I don’t charge for any reschedules it’s just a matter of business and shooting on location.
How many photos will I get?
Depending on the type of shoot, a usual half day on location, that is 3-4 hours shooting you will find delivers anywhere from 100-150 images. However, the count may vary depending on the brief.
For a construction location you may find that rise to 200 plus as there are many details and views to capture
On an office location shoot it may drop down to under 100 depending on the number of staff in the office and scenes captured.
Ultimately you will get your own commissioned unique images that no-one else has that share your story of business.
Who can use the photographs?
Initially you the client who has commissioned the job, I am shooting for you and your needs and more importantly your brand. If third party businesses wish to use the images that is fine but we need to control it and that business needs to pay for the right to use them. Editorial usage sits outside of that permission, if you are getting publicity in a magazine or newspaper/industry journal then a simple credit is what’s required.
Where can I use the photos?
Essentially most anywhere, I am always happy for a client to use them in their internal/external marketing, on websites, in social media and in brochures. If you are going to put them on a billboard or the side of a bus, then maybe we need to talk further but that will have likely already happened.
