It is a factory of more than 400 workers and all products go to North America. My connection enables me to organise this shooting. I prepared a red background paper, which is non-woven material bought from Taobao, No.1 cyber shop in China. It is 1.5 x 2 meters. Having people stand in front of it, I feel the size might be a little smaller. I am not picky on lighting. The space is of a great glass ceiling, so the lighting is extremely well not harsh too. I planned not to use any artificial light. I have no idea what frame I should use. My plan is to shoot at the quickest speed possible not to let the sitter feel any awkward. I understand the camera is a apparatus playing a game of power. I don’t want to empower myself and de-power my sitter at all. So the idea is to shoot the people in the frame and crop later if necessary. I am sure I will crop in a very Dusseldorf way later. Camera on tripod, quick instruction, I finished shooting in a little more than 1 hour. I kept all the names of the workers, where they come from and other key data.
