If interior decorators are artists, then so is posing things like parts for photos. Like real world exploded views of things. It's just part of my job to catalogue these things, but might as well make each one pleasing (to myself at least).

Wait
So your job is to disassemble things and take well lit pictures of their parts ?
Where do I apply
Tl:Dr; small business; pictures of shipment components from the lease pool.
I run a very small scientific equipment company where our primary income stream is the lease pool. A lot of the equipment is modular, so before sending the equipment to the customer, we have to assemble and test in whatever configuration is appropriate for their study. We take photos and send them notes on how to use the device as configured. Then we disassemble and take a picture of all the components we're sending, then finally package for safe shipping. This picture is one of the steps in the process of making sure that we get all the components back when we get the equipment back.
Because of the modulatity, it would take a lot of time to individually itemize each shipment, so the picture saves a lot of work. But only if the picture is actually useful and you can see and recognize every component. So there is an art to laying it all out. It feels like laying out Lego components, trying to optimize the view.
I just set a subset of the photo above as my LinkedIn banner because it looks cool (to me). Thus, "art".
We are very small. Aside from myself, I've got a business manager and an electronics technician. As we grow, more will be needed. But I suspect ~10 people is the max we can grow to before our market is saturated and we will always be a small business.
That's very interesting
Is that a ground penetrating radar wheelbarrow?!
Yes. ;)
Very cool toys, hadn't seen a one wheeler before
It's actually just an odometer wheel that drags behind the unit. You need the antennas to be in contact with the ground for best data. So the instrument isn't exactly balanced on the wheel. But close enough to a wheel barrow for illustrative effect :)
