corporate & industrial photography Apr 2021

"Shooting corporate and industrial photography isn’t the most glamorous sector of commercial photography. But it requires an exceptional understanding and commitment to the subjects that are presented to you, often with the need to react to situations and personalities as they appear before you. I love the challenges that all this presents. Of course a healthy enthusiasm for hair nets, hard hats and all manner of health and safety gear is essential!"

Adam Gault has been shooting corporate and industrial photography for the past 25 years. The variety of subject matter and fascinating locations always keeps things fresh and interesting. A valued client recently commented that ‘you know you’re always in safe hands when you commission Adam Gault’. "Can’t wait for the next factory or board of directors shoot."

Arnaud Février became an independent photographer in 1993 and began working in Lisbon, Beirut and Riga.

He was the official photographer of musician Jean Michel Jarre from 1990 to 1997. Arnaud collaborated with the Imapress Agency until 1997 with which he produced several reports on the Gaza Strip and Iraq highlighting the humanitarian disaster. Then he turned more and more towards portraiture and joined the team of photographers at the MPA agency until 2004.

He has photographed many personalities from the cultural and political world, and was the official photographer for many publishing houses. In parallel with these press assignments, he worked for many communication agencies to produce the visual identity highlighting women and men who build today's society.

Passionate about the industrial world, transport and energy, he has shared his experience with the communication services of large companies. 

His recent personal work questions Franco-American identity and culture, and one of his recent exibitions took place during Les Rencontres d'Arles in 2019.

"These have been challenging times for all in the creative industries. However, by following APA /AOP Covid safety guidelines, I have continued to work on both video and photography projects.

For this Spotlight I wanted to contrast some recent corporate portraiture with a decidedly ‘non-socially distanced’ story I shot a few years ago covering a joint NATO exercise at Bergen-Hohne Training Area in Northern Germany.

My genuine interest in people and desire to tell their story is what drives my photography. I am a creative and calm individual, able to adapt quickly to the challenges of working on location.

With thirty years of experience behind me, my extensive client list includes Abbeyfield Care Homes, Action for Children, African Petroleum, BP, Castrol, BUPA, Central Bedfordshire Council, Christie, CLIC Sargent, Coty, Hydro International, ICAEW, Inpost, Lavendon Group, Low & Bonar, Morgan Sindall, The National Bingo Game, Travelodge, Nuffield Health, Reckitt Benckiser, Royal London, Serco, SOCO, Stallergenes Greer, St James's Place and WIG."

"I work for corporate and commercial clients, corporate publishing houses as well as leading magazines on assignments in Norway, Scandinavia and abroad.

I discover the motives for a shoot with authenticity and on location. Paired with experience, intuition and the understanding of the subject, this documentary approach enables me to take photographs of a broad spectre of topics and different people. Always with the same professional dedication and empathy.

Since 1997 I have been working full time as a photographer. In 2005 I moved from Germany to Oslo and speak Norwegian, German and English. In these times of travel restrictions I look forward to supporting your project in Norway with my international background.
