This building is a switching station for a cellular phone company and will be filled with computers, batteries, power systems and other state-of-the-art equipment.

My client wanted interior photography of the space before the cellular service equipment was installed. They also wanted photographs of the very specialized mechanical work they had done, much of which was in the ceiling. The photos below show some of the sheet metal work and support hardware that will help provide electrical and communications wiring/cabling and also temperature and humidity controlled air.

Architectural photographers often use ladders, but this is the first time that I have used a 12’ step ladder to take photographs in a ceiling. Once the tripod was positioned on the suspended steel girders, I did a custom white balance for the florescent lighting and then did a bracketed set of exposures to capture highlight and shadow detail. The final images were produced by layer masking in Photoshop. This was not a typical interior photography shoot, but it was an interesting one.  http://www.claytonstudio.com       Follow me on Twitter
