You've got to be a good walker in a factory for long-haul aircraft. Wolfram Schroll was once again on the road for Airbus. His job: Airbus in Nantes/France. The photographer tells us : “In Nantes, parts for the A 350 are manufactured and later assembled in Toulouse. Factories like that are really big, and you can certainly chalk up the kilometers walking there. I enjoy walking around in unfamiliar plants in search of exciting motifs. Always on a short schedule, always slightly tense, since the possible time window is very small. I would have no problem at all staying there a whole week. I would keep on constantly discovering new motifs. But that is an illusion, the time given to photographers is measured in hours and not in days. Production at Airbus is always at full speed. Then it is part of the job to synchronize the wishes of marketing, your own photo ideas, and the limited time on site and make everybody happy." We present you the results of his search here on 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.
