From Networking to Commission: Our First Official Photoshoot with Forth Engineering in West Cumbria

Client: Forth Engineering

Forth Engineering | Leconfield Site Shoot

Our first commissioned photoshoot with Forth Engineering in West Cumbria did not happen overnight. It developed through months of genuine networking, regular attendance at BECBC events, and collaboration at local charity initiatives. Conversations turned into connections. Connections turned into trust. And trust turned into opportunity.

This time, we were invited to Forth’s Leconfield site to capture a full suite of professional visuals, including:

• Project photography showcasing ongoing engineering work
• Professional headshots for their website
• General brand imagery for social media and marketing

This is exactly where professional commercial photography for engineering companies in Cumbria plays a vital role.

Engineering businesses are highly skilled, technically advanced and deeply professional. Their marketing should reflect that same standard.

Keeping your visual content up to date is no longer optional. If your website and social platforms are filled with outdated imagery, it does not reflect the growth, innovation and professionalism happening behind the scenes. Forth understands this. They recognise the power of polished, professional content and the importance of presenting their business at the level it operates.

But what makes working with Forth even more special is who they are beyond the projects.

They are a pillar of the West Cumbrian community. Their ongoing support of local charity Goodlives demonstrates a real commitment to social impact. Their investment in apprenticeships shows their dedication to developing the next generation of engineers. That combination of commercial strength and community responsibility is something we truly admire.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Brian on two occasions — first for the opening of our Precision Machining Facility in June, and again in October at our 25th Birthday Celebration Fundraiser. Brian is a master of being completely inconspicuous, blending seamlessly into any event while capturing the most natural and genuine moments. His images go far beyond simple snapshots — they carry atmosphere and emotion. You can almost hear the laughter and feel the warmth of the occasion through his photos. We were especially impressed by Brian’s flexibility — moving effortlessly from photographing in a complex engineering environment to capturing the vibrancy and joy of a large celebration. His ability to adapt his style to suit the setting is outstanding. Brian works alongside his partner Nikkie, and together they make a wonderful small family business that’s deeply invested in our community. Their professionalism, friendliness, and talent make them an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!
