Case Study: Showcasing Innovation at Storm Energia (Now Envergia)

As an industrial photographer specializing in capturing cutting-edge technology and industrial operations, I was commissioned to document Storm Energia’s (now Envergia’s) new lithium battery recycling facility. The goal was to create a compelling image library for their website and stakeholder communications, positioning them as a key player in the sustainable energy sector.

The Challenge

This was a new venture, and the visual storytelling needed to balance technical process imagery with authentic portraits of the team driving the innovation. The shoot required capturing industrial-scale recycling operations while ensuring the human element remained central to the story. Additionally, as a new site, certain areas were still under development, requiring careful framing and creative solutions to maintain a polished and professional look.

The Approach

Over two shoot days, I worked closely with an art director to strategically plan key personnel portraits, process shots, and staged mock-ups to illustrate their operations effectively. By scouting the site in advance, we identified the most visually engaging areas and ensured that every shot contributed to a cohesive brand narrative. Lighting and composition were carefully considered to enhance the industrial textures while keeping the imagery clean and modern.

The Results

The final images successfully conveyed Envergia’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, providing a strong visual identity for their website and corporate materials. The client was highly satisfied, and the photography has since been used extensively in communications with investors and industry stakeholders, helping to establish Envergia as a leader in lithium battery recycling
