Industrial Photography - The Art of Making Something Brutal Beautiful
UK industrial photographer producing atmospheric, editorial-style imagery for brands, agencies, and internal comms.
BOSIET with CAEBS certified Offshore and Heavy Industry photographer
Matthew Lloyd is a photographer with a background in international photojournalism and editorial storytelling. Years spent shooting for clients such as Bloomberg and Getty Images have taken him into industrial sites and business environments across the world — from complex manufacturing processes to behind-the-scenes energy production.
He is BOSIET-certified and experienced in working safely and effectively in offshore and high-risk environments. Whether photographing remote workers on a rig or engineers in high-security installations, he understands how to move respectfully, adapt quickly, and capture authentic, human-centred moments — even in places where the presence of a photographer is unfamiliar.
With a calm, observational approach, Matthew produces natural, cinematic imagery that helps tell the story of a business from the inside — showing not just what happens, but who makes it happen.
