Lead Time

I have always been fascinated by the pleasing orderliness of machinery and production lines. When I am commissioned to photograph factories, warehouses and plants, I try to frame my photographs to make the most of the symmetry and the repetition I find in these spaces. Of course, shooting in a factory is not without its challenges; it can be difficult to snatch an unobstructed view of a robot, or to record the ingenuity of a moving production line, but I love to find the shot that captures the beauty and geometry of the production floor. It can feel almost intimate to get an insider's look at something being manufactured, to see a product in its most essential state: the exoskeleton of a car or the circuit boards from a computer. And it's also fun to spot everyday items strikingly out of context, like a queue of toothpaste tubes as they stand ready for shipping on a conveyor belt.
