Industrial Photographer
As an industrial photographer around Boston and New York, I work with companies to show what they make—and how they make it. The best compliment I get is that most of my commercial clients come back again and again.
Over the years I’ve photographed in denim factories, pharmaceutical plants, shipping warehouses, air conditioner assembly lines, fusion research facilities, quality control labs, steel forges, wire production plants, and jewelry workshops. I photograph around heavy equipment, in hazardous environments, and up tall polls in the energy sectors and plenty of other places where things are built, tested, and shipped.
Before we start on an industrial photography project, we’ll talk through what matters most: what you make, what makes your process different, and what you want the photos to say about your brand. From there, I plan the shoot to focus on the details that actually sell the story—craftsmanship, precision, scale, and the people who keep everything running.
Factories and workshops are designed to be used. Even the best-run ones have worn floors, odd corners, and the kind of “this is how we do it” quirks you only notice once you’re on the line. My job is to photograph that reality in a way that feels honest, but still looks clean and intentional. I use lighting, composition, and the right technical tools to make the space look its best without making it look fake.
The end result is a set of images that shows the full system—machines, hands, and finished products working together—so you can explain your process clearly and confidently on your website, in proposals, annual reports, recruiting, and marketing.

When L’Oreal opened a factory in Egypt, we worked together to create a library of images for their internal communications. The photos highlighted their local workforce at all levels of the process.

Sharabati Denim is one of the largest Denim manufacturers in the world. I’ve worked with them several times to make libraries of photographs and videos that they have used for many years in advertising and social media.
