Industrial photography is a special genre of commercial photography that captures the spirit, detail and power of the industrial world and encompasses a variety of styles.
What is industrial photography?
There are many types of photos that fall under the genre of industrial photography.
Of course, you can take photos of industrial settings in general to emphasise the scale and complexity of industrial sites, including:
- factories
- machinery
- power plants
- construction sites
You might imagine scenes of giant smoking chimneys or lots of heavy machinery. However, industrial photography can go well beyond that.
It also encompasses the finer details, such as intricate scenes of machinery, showcasing the technology used (particularly new and innovative tech) and the people and corporate world behind it all.
In addition to the wider views, a photographer can often go in close and capture the smaller details of an employee’s work and the raw power of machinery, such as the spray of sparks from a welder or the grinding of metal against metal.
Industrial photography documents, promotes, and even celebrates the human ingenuity, advancement, development and power behind the industrial world.
