Aerospace Engineering

Sometimes it all happens in a rush. I got a call from a company that supplies materials to the aerospace industry, they were having an article published in the trade press and needed some good quality shots of their massive warehouse and facilities. The trouble is they called on a thursday, for a shoot on the friday and needed the results uploaded to an ftp site over the weekend.

The only real problem with this was that they were still working in the warehouse so there was no way I could use studio lights as I wasn't allowed to run cables across the floors so I had to light a massive warehouse using off camera flash!

It was easy enough for the component shots - employing red and blue coloured gels to make the shots of grey aluminum more interesting.

 It was more difficult to lift the greys of the racking into something more interesting, so again I employed a blue gelled flash. See comparison shots  first without flash then with it. It just makes the shot stand out from the pack.
