abandoned factory ???

there's loads of abandoned factories - problem is getting permission/access to enter the building.

shouldn't you as the photographer choose the location...or let the client choose the location and you do the shoot, if the client wants to do a shoot in a factory I would let them get permission to access it rather than putting the responsibility on to you - who's liable if someone gets hurt/injured in the factory ?

your role is to take photos, you can suggest places...but the client or their agent should be seeking permission to photograph in the place and you should ensure you are covered by your own insurance to photograph on location (with permission)

Does it have to be abandoned ? .... would it not be suitable if the factory was quiet/empty?
