FAQ
What is an industrial photographer?
An industrial photographer documents people, processes and infrastructure within working environments such as energy, manufacturing, mining and maritime operations. The work is used for reporting, marketing, compliance and internal communication.
What is industrial photography used for?
Industrial photography is used across case studies, project reporting, compliance documentation, stakeholder communications and marketing. It creates a visual record of operations that can be reused across multiple business functions.
What is industrial documentation?
Industrial documentation is a structured approach to photography and video that creates a consistent visual record of operations over time. It supports project tracking, reporting, audits and long-term asset libraries.
What is the difference between industrial photography and industrial documentation?
Industrial photography captures individual moments or projects. Industrial documentation applies structure and consistency across multiple visits, sites or phases to build a usable and repeatable visual record.
Which industries use industrial photography and documentation?
Industrial photography is used across energy, mining, maritime, manufacturing, engineering and infrastructure sectors. Any operation that requires accurate visual communication or reporting benefits from structured documentation.
Where do you operate as an industrial photographer?
Industrial photography projects are delivered across the UK and internationally, with operational bases in Edinburgh, Scotland and Perth, Australia. Work regularly takes place on live industrial sites including offshore, remote and multi-site operations globally.
Can you work on live and safety-critical industrial sites?
Yes. Work is carried out within live operational environments, following site-specific safety systems, inductions and permit-to-work requirements. This includes offshore, remote and regulated locations. We are certified, including BOSIET, licensed and insured.
Do you offer both photography and video?
Yes. Projects can include still photography, video and drone capture depending on the requirements. These are often delivered together to create a complete and consistent documentation set.
How are industrial photography projects delivered?
Projects are planned around site access, safety requirements and operational schedules. Capture is carried out on-site, followed by structured editing and delivery of a consistent image or video library ready for use.
How much does industrial photography cost?
Costs vary depending on project scope, duration, location and deliverables. Pricing is typically based on production time, post-production and licensing, with projects ranging from single-day site visits to long-term documentation programmes.
