Industrial buildings and factories

Brief

Not always thought of as beautiful, but certainly interesting and worthy of a photographer’s attention, industrial buildings vary greatly in their aesthetic, age, size, function and ease of access. Some older industrial buildings are considered valuable heritage architecture, and are being treated as such, whilst many others have become derelict. But most are still functioning industrial units, and so shooting from an accessible vantage point, or requesting permission to shoot on-site will be required. Images can be either exterior or interior views, and an exploration of your local town or city should throw up many opportunities to shoot new work.
