EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Lackenby Steelworks 28931_053" captures the essence of industrial prowess at Lackenby Steelworks in Teeside, Redcar and Cleveland. Taken by the talented photographer Matthew Oakey in 2016, this image offers a unique perspective on the immense metalworks that have shaped this region's history. From above, we witness an intricate web of towering structures and sprawling machinery that dominate the landscape. The sheer scale of these steel works is awe-inspiring; it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Every detail is meticulously captured by Oakey's lens - from the colossal blast furnaces belching smoke into the sky to the intricate network of pipes snaking across the site. The monochromatic palette enhances our focus on form and texture, emphasizing both strength and fragility within this industrial behemoth. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each element present in this composition. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when steel production was at its peak. It reminds us of how integral industries like these were for local economies and communities alike. Matthew Oakey's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the physical magnitude but also the historical significance embedded within Lackenby Steelworks.
