Ian Mcdonald
Ian Mcdonald is a well known north east photographer. He clearly recognised that the industry built the north east and noticed changes to the industry over the years. I think this is why his work of the industry's is so powerful to me. The image is shown in black and white capture the dangerous aspects of the job and also the beauty of it too.
This was my favorite of Ian's work, it shows a blast furnace and a man stood directly next to it. Ian has named this image 'Blowing down a blast furnace for shutdown'. Some times i feel with the bright and colorful lights you can get in the factories and shop floors of steel works and other things but this image the fact it is black and white does not affect the impact of the brightness of the furnace in the slightest.
