CORPORATE, INDUSTRIAL AND HEALTHCARE PHOTOGRAPHY Oct 2023

"Since the world was upended and shaken out across the living room floor in 2020, I have learnt that you can take nothing for granted anymore.

The jobs aren’t quite so frequent and the budgets aren’t quite so healthy... but I know now to live in the moment and relish every shoot. I love what I do, and the challenges it offers. The chance to meet new people, to explore and to learn.

There will no doubt be more speed-bumps to navigate on this journey, but I’m strapped in and enjoying the ride!"

Photographer Andreas Gerhardt's main speciality is people, and for him it is particularly important not only to showcase work processes, but above all to capture people at work. What is of utmost significance to him is an aesthetic that is strongly influenced by lifestyle moods.

"Achieving the right composition of light and subject requires good organisation. Improvisation is sometimes demanded, especially in the context of corporate photography; experience has taught me that nothing should be left to chance."

Following a production, the imagery Andreas creates can be used in a variety of ways, including employer branding, recruiting, annual reports or websites. The final use is often considered during the photo shoot. Images are created for small SMEs as well as medium and large companies.

Andreas Gerhardt likes to travel everywhere for interesting projects and can therefore be booked nearly anywhere.

Client list: ChemCon, Vertiko, Vitra, Schölly Fiberoptic, Atmos, Maxon Motor, H-Bau.

This summer has been exciting at Ben Gancsos Studio. As is typical, variety was the theme.

In Maine, Ben photographed the new L.L. Bean headquarters, SMRT’s corporate offices, and a new autism center by E4H Architects. NYC frequently calls, and Ben photographed the new Prenuvo clinic in midtown, multiple financial services offices for SPECTOR Companies, as well as Mount Sinai Hospital clinics for Studio A+T.

As New England is headed into autumn foliage season, exciting projects are in the plans. Ben works regionally, especially in the Portland-Boston-NYC corridor, and readily travels throughout the country for a variety of projects anchored around the built environment.

"People make to supply their need for survival. People also produce to feed their creativity or drive to do. Being out in the field, hearing the contrasting sounds of nature and humanity's creations is that crux between doing to survive or doing to create.

It is the blending of two forces - need and desire, nature and human."

Cameron Karsten is represented by The Gren Group.

From the inner workings of laboratories to the executive boardrooms of major corporations, Niels has seamlessly transitioned through a wide spectrum of environments, showcasing his adaptability and creativity.

One notable instance that exemplifies his resourcefulness was a shoot in Chile. A fire at the first-choice location and a client in a different time zone lead to Niels calmly making the decision to go with the client's second choice of location. This required flying 40 people two hours south and shooting there. The client was very happy and the pictures were delivered on time.

Niels has an impressive client list that includes industry giants such as Danfoss, Pharmacosmos, reNEW science (Novo Nordisk), Stibo, Hearing Aid, MAN, Zeiss, Energidtyrrelsen, Ferring, Radient, Postnord, Orsted, Industriens Pension, Punct Law and Velux.

All of the images in this Spotlight were shot as part of on ongoing project for Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. In collaboration with a design firm, Peter created original images to populate the hospital's new website, in order to reduce the use of stock images to a minimum. Portraits of all the hospital's doctors were shot with a white backdrop, striving to highlight each individual's personality and personal style. Some environmental portraits were also done in different department settings, working thoughout the hospital to document the entirety of its services and departments, and including its staff at work.

"This year has been an incredible journey for me as a portrait photographer, specialising in capturing images in the corporate and industrial sectors.

From executive boardrooms to factory floors, my aim has been to showcase the faces behind these industries, bringing out the personalities, determination, and passion of the people who drive them. My work isn't just about capturing images; it is about telling compelling stories.

In the world of corporate and industrial photography, I have found a unique blend of art and technology. It is about finding the beauty in machinery, and the character in corporate leaders. I have strived to create visually stunning imagery that resonates emotionally, revealing that even in these settings, humanity remains at the core of every success story.

As an environmental photographer we are challenged with weather, remote locations and complex photoshoots. With our experience in the field, we are able solve any issues that arise and deliver still imagery as well as motion to our clients."

"All my life I wanted to be a photographer and work outdoors. I’ve driven 320,000 miles shooting for industrial and architecture clients throughout the US and covered over 2500 square miles on helicopter assignments and managed half-million dollar budgets. And proudly, I painstakingly hunted down and photographed the elusive 020 Pavilion for a personal project, which won an AIA LA Architectural Photography Award.  

Recent projects include shooting an underground storage facility in Kansas City, documenting a start-up in Los Angeles working with brands like H&M to recycle used clothing, shooting the next generation of hydrogen transportation and working alongside an emmy-award winning team shooting for Blackstone's commercial real estate powerhouse Link Logistics.  

My work takes me to challenging environments that allow me to learn everyday and push my creative skills towards that next thing."
