ENR's annual photo contest gives recognition to construction photography, the crews, and the projects they work on together. They also shows appreciation for the people who often face uncomfortable conditions capture great images.
Taking pictures on MTA’s $10.1-billion East Side Access project, Trimiew says she was struck by the “kind of weird, surreal environment” in a tunnel. The project official pictured “looks like he’s walking off into an unknown yellow wonderland,” she says.

Description: Union ironworkers Paul Wild, Jennifer Van Pelt and Scott Schmitt (from left) obliged photog Dylan Buyskes, who climbed from an adjacent roof to shoot the crew installing scoreboards for the project by contractor LPCiminelli. “It’s a good feeling when you can see a finished project and know what it took to accomplish it,” says Van Pelt, a state-certified welder.
Ph值otographer: Patrick J. Cashin
Description: Photographer Patrick Cashin stopped to wait for workmen to move a cherry picker into place, as he walked through the future Second Avenue subway tunnels beneath Manhattan’s Upper East Side. “I noticed the gap between the station and track tunnel leading to 96th Street was open to the outside, letting in daylight,” he says. “I changed my camera’s white balance to tungsten, which makes the daylight turn blue.”
Ph值otographer: Trevor Clancy
提交者:大理石街Studio,Inc。的David Murphy
描述:“标题到工地现场,我停了to take advantage of the beautiful backlighting and golden hue of the construction site just after dawn,” says Clancy, who took this shot last October, when HNTB hired his firm to take pictures of Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation’s Zoo Interchange Project. “I had hoped to get some nice backlighting in the image, and this was one of the first shots I took before the sun got too high for a silhouette,” Clancy says. “There were a few that we were going to submit, but this one was our favorite. I loved the way the worker in the foreground is contrasted against the monochromatic background.”
Ph值otographer: Robert Umenhofer
提交者:Consigli建设
Description: Among his jobs at Consigli, Umenhofer documents project progress. Preparing to shoot a concrete pour at a Smith College residential-hall renovation, he climbed onto an adjacent roof in search of an interesting vantage point. “After getting harnessed, I laid on my stomach, leaned over and saw the perfect contrast of rough soil and newly troweled concrete,” he says. “The worker’s red hat and bright shirt added a punch of color.”
摄影师:Batuhan Nazar Salihoglu
Description: Plodding through the $660-million Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy Metro tunnel project beneath Istanbul, Batuhan Nazar Salihoglu, a technical reporter for Dogus Group, Istanbul, slipped in the mud just before he took this picture. He says all he was thinking about were camera settings and the frame. “Only photo, only scene, only camera settings—and the position of the machines.” Intent on capturing the perfect frame, Salihoglu says he fell down in a heap. Luckily, he wasn’t hurt, and he got the photo.
摄影师:史蒂夫·瑞安(Steve Ryan)
Description: Since the project began in 2011, professional photographer Steve Ryan has been documenting the progress on the 4.6-kilometer Legacy Way tunnel, which will connect the western and northern suburbs of Brisbane. He caught this image after a downpour created an interesting reflection in a ventilation tunnel. Ryan says it required some patience to capture a smooth reflection with just enough light coming down the shaft. “It was a very peaceful shot, considering construction was still going on behind us,” he says.
Ph值otographer: Mark Brocker
描述:Smithlan结束时他的一天d hydro project, Mark Brocker, a civil inspector with MWH Global and an aspiring shutterbug, decided to photograph workers before he headed home. Brocker’s eye was drawn to union carpenter Tom Willoughby, who was completing connections between bright-orange concrete forms for an upcoming wall pour. Later, Brocker desaturated the image before bringing Willoughby back in color, highlighting the work of the veteran tradesman
Ph值otographer: Rehema Trimiew
Submitter: MTA Capital Construction
描述:Trimiew在例行照片中,记录了MTA 101亿美元的East Side Access项目的工人,将Long Island Railroad连接到曼哈顿的Grand Central Terminal。但是,当她看着填补钢筋的工人的图像时,她“震惊了。看起来我在地板上,抬头看着他们。”她说,有一个挡土墙将她与工人分开,使她能够从异常角度捕捉照片。
摄影师:Pearl F. McLin
提交者:马拉·汉普森(Mala Hampson),霍克
Description: McLin, an architect with HOK, took this spontaneous shot of workers on the roof of the new intermodal center. “My coworker, Hector Ayala, and I walk the site on a weekly basis. We were always amazed at how fearless the construction workers are, and it so happened that they were about to rappel down from the diagrid structure at that moment.”
Ph值otographer: Chris Dardis
Description: Chris Dardis, a senior project manager for Lend Lease Construction, was standing on the catwalk of the window-washing crane atop the 1,005-ft-tall One57 hotel-condominium building when he captured this view of Manhattan’s iconic skyline, made even more dramatic by the two workers in the suspended scaffold. “I did not have too much time to set up because the rig was constantly moving during the testing” of the equipment, says Dardis, an amateur shutterbug who is especially intrigued by construction photography.
摄影师:ErikMårtensson
Description: Mårtensson, staff photographer for Nordic Construction Corp., was struck by the pace of activity deep below a quiet part of mountainous Norway as workers prepared for a tunnel blast on the Swedish contracting giant’s 5-km rail-tunnel project, set for completion in 2016. “These kind of assignments are the ones I love, when I’m able to spend time on a site to just observe and document the work and not have to stage anything,” he says. Mårtensson says the very low light conditions “really put pressure on the cameras when it came to high ISO performance.”
Ph值otographer: Helmuth Humphrey
Submitter: Crystal DelleChiaie, PC Construction Co.
Description: As part of DC Water’s $470-million biosolids management program, contractors installed the first thermal hydrolysis system of its kind in the U.S. The efficient system, which breaks down sludge to produce biogas and a fertilizer product, enables utilities to reduce the number of digesters required. For this shot, veteran photographer Humphrey was seeking to convey the project’s size when he saw this pipefitter “in the right place at the right time.” Adds Humphrey, “The human element provides life, activity and, most importantly, a sense of scale.”
Ph值otographer: Patrick Cashin
Description: While walking under the streets of Manhattan from 34th Street up to Times Square at 42nd Street, photographer Patrick Cashin encountered this worker installing new signal connections along the new tracks of the No. 7 subway-line extension. “I started by photographing him over his shoulder while he worked but didn’t like that I couldn’t see his face,” says Cashin. “When I moved around to the other side of the signal box, I saw an opening.” The worker continued the installation as Cashin found the perfect frame.
Ph值otographer: George Baker
Submitter: Submitted by Golden State Photographic
描述:下行梯子后拍摄the concrete placement at a campus parking structure, photographer George Baker looked up as workers with contractor Build Group waited for a load of concrete. “The sun was glaring down, creating a silhouette as they looked down,” Baker says. “The silhouette transmits their body language and posture, depicting a relaxed and self-confident feeling.”
Ph值otographer: Robert Umenhofer
提交者:Consigli建设Co.
Description: Arriving early one afternoon to shoot a site visit by a nearby neighborhood youth group, the lensman received a flash of inspiration from a welder’s torch. “I framed the shot while the welder was changing rods, closed my eyes, waited for the crack of electricity and fired,” he says.
Ph值otographer: Alan Kazin
Description: While climbing a scaffold stairway on New York City Dept. of Environmental Protection’s $138-million Gilboa Dam reconstruction project, Alan Kazin, a shooter with Bernstein Associates Photographers, saw this scene. “The composition of the pipes, with the worker on the lift and the water behind, drew my attention immediately,” says Kazin, who stopped climbing and snapped the photo. He knew it was more than a typical progress shot. “I was so drawn to this image, I made an 11- by 14-in. print, framed it and hung it in my office,” he says.
Ph值otographer: Robert Keeran
Description: As the Coachella Valley Water District’s multimedia specialist, Robert Keeran, regularly photographs projects such as this Skanska job to restore flow capacity to the La Quinta section of the Coachella Canal, which draws water from the Colorado River. Because of extreme summer heat, concrete placement takes place at night until early morning. “The time between when you need artificial light to work in the desert’s darkness and the sunrise is a real magic time for photography,” he says.
Ph值otographer: Jeremy Takada Balden
Submitter: Submitted by Morrison Hershfield
Description: In preparing to conduct water-penetration testing on the glazed curtain wall from atop the 39th floor, Jeremy Takada Balden, building-envelope consultant at Morrison Hershfield, used his GoPro to snap a picture over his colleague’s shoulder. “The actual view over the edge of the building was just as dizzying as it looks in the photo,” adds Takada Balden.

描述:当罗杰斯(Rodgers)的高级项目经理约书亚·莱尔(Joshua Lyle)走了医院的添加站点时,他说:“我看到颜色从新鲜放置的混凝土中反射出来,拿出我的手机并拍照。”他使用iPhone 5s捕获图像。“看来我在一个平静的湖面看。”
Ph值otographer: George Baker
Submitter: Submitted by Golden State Photographic
Description: Working from a vantage point atop a tower crane, the photographer used a telephoto lens to shoot work on a residential project by subcontractor Pacific Structures. The 30-ft-tall rebar columns towering above the mat foundation reminded Baker of the state’s giant sequoia trees—how, “in the late morning, they were throwing these cool shadows.” Baker says he strives to find ways to establish a visual identity for each jobsite he visits, adding cultural or historical references when appropriate.
Ph值otographer: Peder Thompson
Description: Thompson, an independent photographer shooting for Lunda Construction Co., found this row of pilings that had been set over the course of a month, with the older piles developing a patina as they weathered. “I used to work construction, and I like everything about construction photography,” Thompson says. “I like the outdoor aspect and all the elements that come together—the hard edges, the soft edges of the human beings, the scale of the equipment and the great technology—and that, in the end, it takes the hands of a person to put it all together.”
Ph值otographer: Paul Knapick
Description: Knapick, a veteran staff photographer for Albany-based project general contractor BBL Construction Services and a repeat ENR photo-contest winner, used the equivalent of a 600-mm telephoto lens to capture, safely, the drama of a subcontractor’s weld of rebar on the garage foundation. “With a shallow depth of field, the background and foreground were out of focus, so the viewer’s attention [is] on the torch and the sparks,” he points out.
Ph值otographer: Robin Scheswohl
Description: Scheswohl says she was “thrilled” to get to photograph inside a new 11-million-gallon treated-water reservoir that the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission put into service in December. It is part of a $4.6-billion program to repair, replace and seismically upgrade the system’s deteriorating infrastructure. Scheswohl, the commission’s photographer, says she found and framed her shot as workers were sealing and disinfecting in preparation for filling. Then, she waited patiently until one of them entered the beam of light.

Submitter: Submitted by MCM Management Corp.
Description: An essential part of any demolition job is breaking down bulky items into manageable pieces. Here, an excavator operator drags a tundish—a giant tray that once contained molten steel—to a burning yard. “Anything that our shears can’t cut through, they burn with propane and liquid oxygen,” says the photographer, who, for more than two years, has been shooting the vast cleanup of a former steel mill in Sparrows Point, Md.
Ph值otographer: Robert Keeren
描述:为了拍摄这次工人的镜头,在Coachella Valley Water Distry Distrand Roclamation Plant上安装重型钢筋为新的头部工厂设施的混凝土墙壁,摄影师在建筑区域外发现了一个有利的位置。罗伯特·基伦(Robert Keeren)说:“我喜欢钢筋的模式。”该项目,W.M。Lyles Construction Co.将通过在激活的污泥处理过程之前去除大量无机材料来提高治疗效率。
摄影师:Batuhan Nazar Salihoglu
Description: This photo has “only contrast,” notes Salihoglu, a technical reporter for Dogus Group, Istanbul, describing the shot he took under that city while inside the $660-million, 17-kilometer-long Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy Metro tunnel project. “I think the dark and the light had a very good harmony,” he says. When Salihoglu sees a shot on-site, he checks that the camera settings are correct and quickly takes four to five images. “It’s all timing, and it’s luck,” he adds. “And a little experience.”
Ph值otographer: Edward Ortiz
提交者:由巴拿马运河管理局莉娜·科西奇(Lina Cossich)提交
Description: Ortiz, of the Panama Canal Authority, took this shot of a worker welding the iron bars that will reinforce the piles of a the new bridge at the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal. The double-plane, twin-pylon, cable-stayed bridge will have four lanes and stand 75 meters above sea level. “What inspired me was the extension of the structure and the position of the man working atop,” he says. “I used to work for a newspaper, so I developed a knack for spontaneity.
Ph值otographer: Bruce Heimbach
提交者:项目管理顾问公司提交
Description: On one of his site tours as assistant owner’s rep on UCSD’s ACTRI research lab, Bruce Heimbach, vice president at Project Management Advisors, snapped a shot of a worker installing formwork on one of the seven-story building’s stairwells. The building’s structural design is a mix of cast-in-place concrete and steel, requiring lots of coordination between subs. “I think when the structure is being erected is the most interesting time for a building to be a photographic subject,” says Heimbach. “I like to capture people doing something on the structure.”
Ph值otographer: Timothy Schenck
Description: “I was a structural engineer for 13 years and began shooting while I was still an engineer,” says Schenck. As time went on, “I was having a lot more fun in the field shooting, instead of being in the office. I was seeing projects come to life.” He has now been a freelance photographer for four years. In this shot, he captured, silhouetted against the sky, an ironworker atop a column as he waits for formwork to be maneuvered into position by a tower crane. 10 Hudson Yards is the first of 16 skyscrapers that will form a 12-million-sq-ft mixed-use development.
Ph值otographer: Dennis Lee
Description: Extra effort shows on the face of this ironworker as he helps guide the final girder into place on this bridge over the Hoosic River. Lee is a freelance photographer, who was shooting for Harrison and Burrowes Bridge Constructors Inc. Reflecting on his work, Lee says, “You get the human element of guys working but also the dramatic construction scenes.”
Ph值otographer: Mark Beckett
Submitter: Submitted by Debi Taylor
Description: On his first job as a project manager for Century Steel Erectors, Beckett captured ironworkers erecting a truss some 437 ft above the street. The truss frames a view that includes Pittsburgh’s iconic PPG Place skyscraper, the river and beyond. Inspired in 1999 by a retiring ironworker’s visual record of his entire career, Beckett has taken, to date, approximately 10,000 photos of projects he has worked on across the U.S. He routinely sends photos to the union hall and to Century Steel’s main office for their use
Ph值otographer: Peder Thompson
Description: Thompson was on his first day of shooting the Lunda-Ames JV building the St. Croix Crossing between Wisconsin and Minnesota when, near the end of the day, he glimpsed a worker in a forest of pilings. “The light was just delicious. I felt like I couldn’t go wrong—particularly when that guy looked up. That was the magic moment,” he says. The project has been decades in the making, in part because of historical, cultural and environmental features on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.

Ph值otographer: Francis Zera
Submitter: Submitted by Amanda Behner, PCL Civil Constructors
Description: Seattle’s South 200th Link Extension project comprises a $171-million station and 1.6 miles of double-track light-rail transit on an elevated guideway. “I’d scouted the location and planned the shot. The staging area offered the best vantage point for this hoisting operation,” says Francis Zera, president of Zera Photo, hired to document the launch of the gantry over the project’s first major road crossing. “I liked the combination of tension and motion, and the workers atop the column added scale to show just how large that beam is.”
Ph值otographer: Stephen SetteDucati
Submitter: Submitted by MCM Management Corp.
Description: Photographing workers in their unvarnished glory can be difficult because they see the camera and start joking around self-consciously, says SetteDucati. For this shot, he got creative by not looking through the camera. Surreptitiously pointing and shooting from below, SetteDucati emphasized the weathered face of this 62-year-old master burner, who was about to retire at the end of the year.
