Manufacturing & Industry — commercial photography by James Richardson
Commercial photography

Manufacturing & Industry

Factory floors, workshops and processes — photographed to show capability, precision and the people behind it.

Manufacturing & Industry

The floor, running.

Factories, plants, workshops and yards. Process, people and product, photographed while the line keeps moving.

Industrial spaces mean difficult light and tight access, and most photography that comes out of them looks like either a safety poster or a stock library. The useful version shows the scale of the place and the skill of the people in it, and that takes time on the floor rather than a fast pass with a wide lens.

I work to your PPE and permit rules, stay out of the way of the process, and agree beforehand what cannot be photographed — commercially sensitive kit, customer product, or faces that should not appear.
