To capture images for its catalog, Goodway maintains contact with local customers and sets up on-location photo shoots to document the equipment in action. A professional photographer captures these images but faces many challenges; namely, the spaces are often low-ceiling, poorly lit basements, while the customers — models, if you will — don’t have time for extensive lighting tests.
