NYTimes, I don't care how much you pay photographer Christopher Payne and the rest of your photography staff (and contractors). No way is it enough. This is incredible work. A quick internet search tells me Payne -- who shot the article -- specializes in large-format photography focusing on industry, and the samples on his website are breathtaking: https://www.chrispaynephoto.com/ https://www.chrispaynephoto.com/ Seems like the kind of thing that would be right up HN's alley.

From the relevant gallery on Payne's site: "Between 2016 and 2018, I made several dozen trips to the factory, photographing every aspect of production. A selection of these photographs was published in The New York Times Magazine in January 2018, with an accompanying essay by Sam Anderson." Several dozen!

I just saw that he is the one who photographed "New York's Forgotten Substations: The Power Behind The Subway" a great book on the old substations that powered the NYC subway system. Certainly an excellent photographer.

I rolled my eyes reading your comment and went to the site to validate that your gushing praise was over the top. Boy was I wrong! His work is incredible! Too many photographers these days misuse/overuse the Bokeh effect and lose important visual information in their photos. They also use poor lightning and coloring, under the guise it is artistic when in fact it is a frustrating loss of the visual elements. Kudos to Chris Payne and his amazing work.

He had a coffee table book of photos come out not too long ago called "Made in America" that is really nice.
