“It’s a very visual industry, but also very demanding of the photographer – it requires a good eye, skill and patience to truly do it justice.

“I’m proud to have been named runner-up and it has been an honour seeing my work on display in the House of Commons alongside so many other fantastic images of UK manufacturing.”
