They are also good examples of industrial photographic lighting in those set up images.

Right. These are obviously not candids taken on the factory floor. I'd love to see a picture of the photo equipment they used.

I thought it seemed rather risky putting that around her neck. It looks sharp.

very sharp.. heavy duty work boots only lasted 4- 6 weeks because you were always walking on them. could buy boots for a few bucks at company store as they knew what the chips did to the soles. cut them to shreds.
