Industrialists use photography, within prevailing cultural and economic limits, to project a certain image of themselves and their undertakings.
Industrial photography is a highly diverse phenomenon. It reflects both the technical and aesthetic currents prevalent in photography generally at a given time; and prevailing notions of photography's usefulness to industry. The pictures can be read to reveal both the messages intended by their makers, and period-specific cultural traits of particular companies and of industries.
