Factory Portrait & Headshot Photography built around cycle times
Weather governs a factory shoot for headshots more than budget does — the calendar is built around it. Factory floors are high-contrast, cluttered and busy, so the useful frames come from choosing three or four processes worth showing and lighting those properly rather than sweeping the whole shed.
