On photo-assignment for the Irish company Oldcastle Materials, I photographed plenty of industrial “clean” images. But for this blog post, I wanted to show a few slightly abstract industrial photographs.
Art director Heather Askew stressed that we needed clean perspectives and angles to showcase in photography, the gravel and asphalt plant near Grand Junction Co. And the Commercial photography photo-shoot was a resounding success.
The business of making industry field pictures at a working plant look like a sterile bathroom is part of the job. And the challenge is reward in itself, particularly when the client is pleased with the results of the industrial photography. But the artist in me likes to look for abstract. And like a little boy in his sandbox, I was having fun commanding from my perch on the man-lift, just where the trucks and bulldozers should go.
