Maurice Broomfield

I'm ashamed to admit that I'd not come across the work of Maurice Broomfield until I read his obit recently (died 4th September this year). His industrial work in the 1950s and '60s was amazing, especially the lighting. I'm assuming from the quality of the images I've seen that he shot in large format but I haven't yet been able to find out what gear he used, cameras or lights. Anyway, in case anyone else is as ignorant as me about this photographer's work, here's a link to his website and I recommend the 'Industry' slideshow.

Best wishes to all,

Fantastic stuff, as a commercial photographer myself, all I seem to get is people sat a computers :? Sign of the times I suppose.
