Ambrian Energy, Bremen and Hamburg, Germany

Industrial and corporate photography for Ambrian Energy, produced for Hamburg agency Syndicate Design. The brief called for a scalable image library covering the company’s full visual range: management and employee portraits across two cities, infrastructure, operational environments and technical detail. In Bremen, much of the Ambrian Energy photography took place in EX zones and at height. In Hamburg, a fully produced corporate shoot: models, hair and makeup, styling, in a clean office environment. Bremen ran across two sessions, October and July, which required care in post to hold a consistent visual language.

For Ambrian Energy, EX zone photography set its own rules: certified equipment only, no flash, a permit for every position including the ones at height. Hamburg was the opposite: a built set, styling, full control of the light. Holding the two registers together was the actual work, and the reason the two Bremen sessions and the Hamburg shoot had to be matched in post.

A longer look at this project in the ON LOCATION Journal: Guided by Safety. The ABB refinery at Burghausen has its own entry: another German industrial commission, shot as a single night exterior.
