Industrial photography: my passion'

'As Head of the Editorial Team, I think we should consider this article as a tribute to all the people still working in these worldwide difficult times we're going through.
Don't forget that beside the essential medical, health care and research staff there are many workers facing high risks everyday. 
Food industry: supermarkets,  dock workers (health care deliveries, fruit and vegetables). 
Safety guards and policemen, postmen, garbage collectors, truckers and many more.
Respect and gratitude to them all'.

INDUSTRIAL PHOTOGRAPHY: MY PASSION!
by Editor Miro Susta
Published: 25th of March 2020

Why this title? I am an engineer and consider myself an average photographer, but I am very closely connected to industrial photography, or more precisely to power plant photography.

It was the first international photo book on power plant construction that I had published in the year 1996. That was still the era of classic analogue photography.

We often hear some negative remarks referring to industrial photography: large industrial halls, heavy noisy machinery, sludge, dust, oil and grease, etc.

'Refinery' by Doug Roane

For industrial photography, this is exactly what makes industrial motifs and reports interesting.  It is about the photographic illustration of motifs from industrial construction, maintenance and production.

Industrial photography is closely related to interior, architectural and landscape photography.

Industrial photography is regarded as technically and strategically very demanding.  Behind every company and behind every product there is a vision, a history and motivated work teams that deliver outstanding performance.

 


'Eggs' by Jan Rauwerdink


Noise, dust, cold, heat, steel and the factory personnel...
... machines, tools and robots in continuous operation.

Extreme conditions are no uncommon situation in industrial photography.

But so it is, these challenges inspire and drive an industrial photographer, just a few minutes ago high above the roofs of an industrial plant, then in an underground.

'underground' by Kobayashi Tetsurou

Industrial photography is not only about industrial buildings, machines, tools and other equipment but also about people which are building and making things, including construction, manufacturing, maintenance and other task in the industrial organization.

A lot of experience on site is required to capture the optimal images under the given conditions.
Exactly this vision and motivation is shown in the photos selected for this
article.

For me, industrial photography is not only creative expression, but also the presentation of artworks for industry lovers, art collectors and exhibitions.

I hope that this article will inspire some of 1x photographers to introduce their latest photos in this category.
I also hope that the Industrial Photography will be included in the official 1x categories in the future.
