Industrial Photography, Video and Drone for Manufacturing, Energy, Rail and Construction in Dallas-Fort Worth

I'm a Dallas-based industrial photographer, director and FAA Part 107 drone pilot with more than 20 years of experience. I photograph and film manufacturing plants, utility work, rail operations and large construction projects for companies including Oncor, TrinityRail, Gray Construction and Balfour Beatty, across Texas and North America.

Industrial work I've done

  • Oncor: Industrial stills and video, plus drone stills and video, across Texas. The work covers storm damage repair and equipment installation, along with corporate branding, portraits and events.

  • TrinityRail: I travel across North America shooting stills, video and drone footage of manufacturing plants, maintenance facilities and railcars in service, plus product material, corporate events, and website and social media content.

  • Gray Construction: Stills and drone video of several large construction projects, including a large chip manufacturing facility, plus stills for corporate events.

  • Balfour Beatty: I was first hired from their UK office to photograph a downtown Dallas high-rise. My stills and drone video ran on the cover and inside their annual report, and the drone video went on their website. Balfour Beatty's annual report, designed by Design Portfolio, was named best annual report (Mid Cap) at the European IR Magazine Awards. Since then I've made safety videos and covered other projects, including one in Atlanta and a Caltrain project in Northern California.

  • Stantec: Drone stills of the State Highway 121 project in North Texas.

  • Dal-Tile and Beckhoff Automation: Stills of their manufacturing plants in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

  • MTU: Stills of their Fort Worth maintenance facility, plus corporate events, portraits and branding material.

  • Paligen Technologies: Stills, video and drone footage of their DFW manufacturing facility for marketing material, plus a safety video.

  • ENGIE: Industrial photography and drone work, including stills, video and drone video of a large solar farm in Central Texas for their international team based in Paris.
