Virginia Photographer

Stewart photography has a long history of providing industrial photography services; on land, in the air, and at sea. View our Industrial Photography Portfolio here.

One of Michael’s first industrial photography projects was for the US Department of Energy. He worked in association with another photographer, and together they photographed twenty power plats in a year. At each location the photographers flew ariel photography missions in helicopters and small planes. They also made interior and exterior photographs of the power plants and landscapes of the surrounding environment.

Since this US Government project, Stewart photography has successfully photographed numerous industrial operations for annual reports, proposals, and project documentation. Photographing in industrial environments and working around schedules is always challenging, but it’s also a lot of fun. Michael truly enjoys to be in the grit of it; working with salt of the earth people who get their hands dirty.

Michael feels that the one of the most important things is to know as much about the industry as possible before trying to make representative photographs. Michael’s curiosity often leads him to research these industries extensively, before, during and after his industrial shoots.

There is a brief moment when all there is in a man’s mind, soul and spirit is reflected

through his eyes, his hands and his attitude. This is the moment to record.

Assignment Details

Location
Stewart Photography covers Baltimore Maryland to Richmond Virginia industrial photography assignments as local business. We have also completed industrial photography assignments in almost every State. Our equipment is packed to travel and we are experienced in getting it through the airport and to your location. “Have camera and lighting, will travel!”
Weather
Always an issue, and one that we monitor carefully using the best technology available. We always try to leave flexibility in our travel plans to accommodate weather delays. If your project requires outdoor photography, please hope for good weather but plan for bad. Our weather delay billing policies are very liberal, we need our expenses covered for extra travel days and flight changes, but we are in no way cashing in on misfortune due to bad weather.
Pricing
Please contact us with as many details as possible about your assignment. We are very competitive with our pricing, and we do not want clients to feel that we are in any way arbitrarily making up prices. A “day rate” simply doesn’t mean anything because some photographs take multiple days to set up and others can be done with the click of the shutter. If you can tell us what product you would like to end up with, we can give you a quote and we will stick to the price unless you change the parameters of the assignment.
Releases
Model and Property releases are necessary in some situations where contracted workers are being used in photographs. We recommend having all visibly identifiable workers sign off before their images are used commercially.
