Industrial photography assignment with Ferguson Enterprises in Lakeland, Florida.
The Wolseley Industrial Group is the industrial division of Ferguson Enterprises based in Newport News, Virginia.
The production team at Ferguson contacted me for a photography assignment at the Wolseley Industrial Group location in Lakeland, Florida. They needed an industrial photographer with experience shooting with a video crew using hot lights to capture still images alongside of the video.
It was still dark when I arrived onsite. The First Unit Productions grip truck and crew where there ready to go as well. We all met up with the producer and DP from Ferguson who arrived from Virginia the night before. After a brief tour and overview of the Wolseley facility we unloaded film, video, lighting, and grip gear and went to work.
Once the sun was up we were all set up for the first shot of the day inside a large open area inside the shop. The crew was reluctant to be filmed at first. Once the cameras started rolling they just got to work and ended up having a lot of fun. After a long day in the heat of central Florida we got some great images of the facility and team.
