Wolfram Schroll : braiding carbon and cooking steel. New work for EADS and Outokumpu VDM
Industry photographer Wolfram SCHROLL created a new image brochure for the Innovation Works sector for the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS).
Wolfram tells GoSee: ‘we were looking for interesting subjects and developed these in collaboration with scientists and engineers.
The three aeronautic principles – lighter, quieter, more efficient – provided us with our theme. This includes braiding carbon fibres as well as surfaces – and acoustics research. My job was to capture this in photographs.’
His work for the Outokumpu VDM image pool was similar in theme, but offered a completely different take.
Don’t be fooled by the archaic look of the work that’s being done – they actually melt ultra-modern high-grade steel such as titanium for jet engines.
‘It was very, very loud and extremely hot. I had to wear a spacy silver protective suit and literally had to approach these images with great caution.’ Sounds like the job suited him very well indeed.

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.
