ARKLATEX Energy Services

by Leave a Comment

This week I went down to the Permian Basin near Andrews, Texas to produce some corporate photographs of Arklatex Energy Services on location.

Once I was decked out in the proper safety attire, hard hat, steel-toed boots, and flame-resistant coveralls everything with the shoot went smoothly. The clouds were especially helpful to give some depth to the sky.

Working in the field

The main goal for this gig was to show the field hands and engineers working on site.
