Workshop photography for Flogas UK

On a recent industrial and engineering project I was commissioned by FloGas UK and was challenged with providing imagery that supported their engineering and sector services.

We highlighted the various technical services they offer to their clients, showing off the facilities and staff's expertise in a manner that demonstrates professionalism and increases customer confidence.

Much of the work took place inside their engineering workshop as it offered a lot of opportunities to capture the intensity of an engineering environment.

All busy workshops come with the usual amount of grime and patina, but one of the most difficult aspects during a recent industrial and engineering project, I was hired by FloGas UK to provide imagery that showcased their engineering and sector services. My goal was to highlight their technical services and demonstrate their staff's expertise in a professional manner, which would increase customer confidence.

Most of the work took place inside their engineering workshop, which offered many opportunities to capture the intensity of an engineering environment. However, busy workshops tend to be covered in grime and patina, and one of the most challenging aspects of working in this type of environment is the mixed colour-temperature lighting on site. This is light provided by various indoor overhead lighting, such as fluorescent strips, Tungsten drop lamps and other light sources while using cutting or grinding equipment.

I used additional modified flash lighting to enhance the surfaces and remove any dark dead spots.

Being selective about the shooting angle and choosing a careful composition excluded a lot of the usual work clutter that creeps into most workshops. of working in this type of environment is the amount of mixed colour-temperature lighting on site.

I used modified flash lighting to enhance the surfaces and remove any dark areas in the scene. To help clean up areas that have clutter, you can't move or don't want to highlight, I leave those regions in the scene unlit.

By being selective about the angle of shooting and by choosing a careful composition we can also exclude a lot of the usual work clutter that creeps into most workshops. This is a common tactic, just moving stuff just outside the frame will make the image much more appealing.
