The Corporate/Industrial Photographer

Outfitted with a plethora of cameras and gear, you can find him in the not so glamorous places of this country, the places where real work gets done – the factories, offices, warehouses and laboratories - looking for that perfect shot. He is a corporate/industrial photographer, and he is quite versatile.

That factories and warehouses are not glamorous goes without saying. They are places of grit, grime and sweat. But they are the country’s guts, the places that keep a country churning and turning. They are, seen through the right lens, also places of beauty, full of soul. They are, in many ways, the essence of America.

Offices and laboratories may not have the grit and grime, but rarely are they any more glamorous. The work may not induce as much sweat, but they too, are places essential to the life of the country; they have their own beauty, their own soul.

Exposing beauty, revealing soul, is the aim of any good photographer; interpreting and communicating the subjects story. A photographer is not unlike an archaeologist: unearthing an artifact, analyzing it, and conveying its message to an audience. The corporate/industrial photographer unearths the essence of a business, comes to understand it, and conveys it’s message. The corporate/industrial photographer interprets and communicates in a way that entices, engages, and educates. The corporate/industrial photographer puts a face on business.

My name is David Fonda and I am a high-end corporate/industrial photographer. I’ve spent over 25 years in this business. I’ve been in countless factories, in corporate boardrooms and Main Line mansions; I’ve photographed industrial labs, university research facilities, on oil rigs and in refineries;  on top of sky scrappers and under Lake Ontario. I’ve helped shine a brighter light on lot of businesses.
