In spring 2020, industrial photographer Wolfram Schroll was commissioned to photograph the Annual Report for Fraunhofer IEM in Paderborn. Fraunhofer IEM researches in the areas of mechatronics, system engineering, AR/VR solutions and digital transformations.
“Besides photographs from the labs, portraits of the department managers and directors of the institute were also needed for the elaborately designed 2019 year book. Following the location check, photos were shot over the course of three days, some with more than 20 protagonists in front of the camera. By the way, this was one of my last jobs before the Corona crisis – no masks, all up close, and all in the past.” Wolfram tells GoSee.

About WOLFRAM SCHROLL
Lube oil rather than hair spray, blue collar rather than haute couture, preferably the smell of steel to the waft of perfume. No models, no cool locations, just raw reality. I love my work - industrial photography. And I love the noise and the heat, the weirdness of the production lines, sometimes all a bit menacing. The people, salt of the earth, uncomplicated. And the permanent challenge of getting photos out of the dark production halls and complex machinery, photos that deserve the word picture. On behalf of customers, taking photos of machines that look as expensive as they actually are. Here at this website, you can sample of my latest work from the worlds of steel, paper, machine construction and medical technology....and of the people who work there.
