As an engineer, Jack de Pagter designed, tested, commissioned, and assessed building energy systems for over thirty-five years. Then, he discovered photography.
Beginning with a 2011 assignment to assess water damage at a college campus, Jack began to use cameras in engineering. He has photographed construction conditions at a Texas cosmetics factory and shot over 16,000 images of building systems and production equipment during field assessments of pharmaceutical plants in Sweden, Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and the UK. His domestic US assignments have included laboratories, health care facilities, university buildings, and commercial office high-rise structures in New Orleans, Kansas City, St Louis, Boston, and New York City.
In his investigations of issues in building construction, he successfully captures images in the most challenging conditions. He braves darkness, heights, freezing, and flooding to photograph everything from high voltage switchgear and superheated steam piping to high-end interiors and testing of power circuit breakers. Thousands of his quality images from dozens of locations in the US and Europe now appear in hundreds of published engineering and facility condition assessment reports.
Jack travels light and on short notice with the right equipment for the job.
