Location photography. Heavy turbine machinery, large-scale product photographed on busy factory floor, shop background later removed and new background created in Photoshop to enhance the presentation of the products. The real key here is getting great accent lighting on the very large scale product at the time exposure, all the post production in the world will not give the same result.

This company makes extremely large particle beam accelerators. Shot on factory floor. Shop background removed and new background added in photoshop. The key here once again is getting great lighting on the unit properly at exposure. Digital capture.

Industrial location photography. This thirty-ton valve shot at Raynor Corporation became one of my favorite industrial images, and one of my favorite stories. Sadly while we were preparing to photograph it an engineer had accidentally fallen from it and was injured with a head injury and many broken arm bones. Later after I completed this photo the valve was hoisted for some vertical views, One chain snapped and it swung literally within inches of my assistant and myself. Tough day! Since then we never take anything for granted concerning safety issues.. 4x5 ektachrome original.

Location photography, industrial. Laser cutter for a large sheet metal company, I had the operator adjust the machine feed rate to make a visible flame. At normal operating speeds the laser beam is invisible.

My client had just installed two new machines and was anxious for photos to show their new capability. They are the largest horizontal milling machines in the country. Every inch of both, completely controlled by my lighting. Most photographers wouldn't even attempt to light shots on this scale. I live for it! The machine manufacturer later purchased usage rights for their advertising purposes. The domes in this photo are fuel tanks for the space shuttle. Look at the size of the people in this shot and you will begin to appreciate the scale. 4x5 ektachrome original.
