Engineering & Industrial Photography

I think its fair to say that most little boys are fascinated with powerful engines, arch wielding kits and heavy industrial environments. 
A recent photography commission for a Manchester based engineering company CPM, saw a return of these childhood fantasies, but this time I had a camera with me.
CPM are a long standing engineering/industrial company who repair, renovate and maintain all manner of engines, motors, pumps, and submersible industrial and electrical equipment.

The first thing I found when walking into their large industrial workshop, was a flood of overwhelming creative possibilities that each work area could yield. I had to take a strong grip of those childhood urges to go all shutter happy at anything that looks remotely gritty, industrial, metallic or fiery. This was pretty difficult as I was faced with old school lathes, wielding torches, metal sprayers, shot blasting and 200 tonne presses. Not quite a candy store, but for a photographer with a sense of childhood creativity certainly a difficult scenario to stay focused in.
