Industrial climbing with Capital Safety

A little while ago we did a multi-purpose commercial shoot at the Capital Safety training facility in Greenfield near Manchester. What was required were some climbing skills to illustrate work and training scenarios for people working at height - be in on top of wind turbines, comms towers, masts or rooftops. Also, I was asked to produce a set of pictures showing the Capital gear in application. For those not familiar with the subject matter, Capital Safety are worldwide leaders in fall protection, height safety equipment, fall prevention and fall arrest systems.

The good folks at the Greenfield training site were a dream to work with: professional, easy-going and very accommodating to my arty-farty ideas of how to photograph industrial climbers. Together with my assistant, we made ourselves at home there for three days and produced a rounded set of pictures that reflect their superb capabilities and the site's potential - see my favourites here:
