Engineering Imaging Workflow

My imaging process is designed to support engineering documentation, inspection analysis, and technical reporting.

Each image is captured with repeatable lighting setups and stabilized camera systems to ensure accurate representation of component geometry, surface condition, and mechanical features.

Typical workflow includes:

• Reviewing engineering objectives prior to imaging
• Selecting lighting setups that reveal critical features such as wear, machining marks, or surface deformation
• Using stabilized camera systems and macro focusing rails when necessary
• Capturing multiple focus planes to maintain full depth-of-field across complex components
• Delivering high-resolution imagery suitable for inspection documentation, reports, and engineering presentations

Technical imaging for engineering documentation, component inspection, and surface analysis.

Imaging studies include:

• mechanical fastener inspection
• surface wear and corrosion analysis
• controlled lighting of reflective metals
• transparent material lighting studies
• micro-structure macro documentation

My background in architecture provides a strong understanding of geometry, structural relationships, and spatial design - an advantage when documenting engineered components and mechanical assemblies.
