The Factory

This is the Guinness factory in Dublin, Ireland. I shot and processed it using HDR to add a heightened sense of drama to the scene. The idea behind the shot was to envision the industrial age, so when processing the image I tried to imagine how the industrial age may have seemed to people as these enormous factories sprung up around Europe and their whole world changed forever. I purposely avoided making the image black & white and went for the starkness of heightened colour and light reality, hoping to capture the visual sense of first human interaction with the scene. I hope you like it.
