"An industrial assignment can easily include other styles of photography like documentary, aerial or environmental portraiture etc."
Lighting
-Due to the size and scale of the location your only option may be to use available light. This is quite common in industrial photography.
-Research! Check out the location before shooting day.
-Take advantage of chiaroscuro (Kee-Ar-Uh-Skyoor-O)
Chiaroscuro (, Italian for light-dark) in art is characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.
-Don't forget your white/grey card!
-Don't forget OH&S
-Take a long lens so you don't have to be too close to things such as welding or molten metals
-Details are important!
Limitations
-Your client may not want to shut down the factory so you can get a shot
-Weather/time of day might not be perfect
-You might blow up the mine if you fire a capacitor (in the speedlight)!!
-Someone might trip over your equipment
-Go in with a vision, but be prepared to change it (always)
-Wide angel lenses are useful for interior shots
-Welding doesn't affect the camera's sensor, but avoid looking through the viewfinder when shooting as the UV rays are harmful to eyeballs.
-Don't take photos of people pointing? It looks way to posed.
-Reflective vests cause metering problems and flaring. Take a photo with a flash then another without and use photoshop to cut out and combine.
-"Remember to stick to the brief before you explore the assignment further".
