For this issue of picture needs we are looking at the subject of Industry and industrial themes. With economical, political and social changes in the world combined with globalisation, more countries are experiencing tremendous growth and development to compete industry wise in the global market place. There is a lively demand for these kind of images covering topics like development in progress, overall modernisation, and impact on the environment.

As well as the negative aspects on the environment we are also very interested in images that reflect environmentally friendly processes and actions that established industrial centres as well as the new emerging ones are adopting.

There is more advice on shooting different subject matter in Photographer tips.
