In terms of corporate industrial photography there’s nothing quite so exciting and sexy as the aerospace industry for photographers like me.

Deep down, below all the photography beauty, I think I’m a geek. The reason I enjoy industrial and corporate photography so much is that I get to get inside all those “secret” locations and see how stuff is made and how it works. Of course, it’s always important to respect company and trade secrets when I’m shooting, so I often work very closely with the clients to guarantee the image is both beautiful… and not too revealing.

So, when Pratt & Whitney called me to come and do some photos of their new plant in shanghai, I was, naturally, very excited.

The plant is a joint venture with China Eastern Airlines to refurbish their engines. The Shanghai Engine Centre will be refurbishing some 100 engines yearly for China Eastern. But the entire centre has a capacity to handle 300 engines a year, so it’s planning to expand. Read more about here, on their press release.
