Industrial Photography

Facilities • Equipment • Workforce • Operations • Industrial Environments

Industrial photography is about showing the people, equipment and environments behind
large and small-scale operations.

We photograph industrial facilities, specialized equipment, fabrication, welding, workforce and field operations, creating images that help companies document their work and communicate what they do. With nearly 40 years of professional experience, Red Tail Photography works on location throughout Northern California and beyond.

Industrial Photography for Marketing & Communications

Industrial photography can be used far beyond documenting a facility. Images of equipment, processes, employees and completed projects can support websites, marketing campaigns, annual reports, corporate communications, proposals and publications. We work on location in active industrial environments, adapting to the conditions and requirements of each project.
