I WORK AT YOUR LOCATION
Decatur’s riverfront industrial corridor, photographed from a Cessna 172.
Decatur is built on heavy industry: chemical plants, steel mills, and river and rail logistics along the Tennessee River. I am Mark Davis, and I photograph and film that work for Decatur-area companies, from advertising campaigns, websites, and annual reports to construction documentation and time-lapse. That includes imaging most producers cannot reach: shots from inside secure and restricted locations that require real clearance to enter, and aerial coverage from a drone most days, or from a Cessna 172 when the project calls for it. My FAA Part 107 drone certification and TSA-issued TWIC card back that access.
Where My Career Started
I am from Decatur and graduated from Hartselle High School. This is where it all began. I worked as a photojournalist for The Decatur Daily, then started my commercial and industrial photography and video production business creating images for the manufacturing plants along the Tennessee River. I taught photography at Calhoun Community College for eight years. Today I travel nationwide for international companies and successful small businesses, and I bring that same experience to every Decatur-area project.

Selected Decatur Work
Decatur-area companies have brought me in for chemical plant safety teams, product catalogs, steel industry marketing, mill portraits, and aviation. Every project below was photographed on location in the Decatur area.
Chemical Plant Emergency Response
For Ascend’s Decatur plant, I photographed the people who keep the site safe, including the plant’s emergency response team, working inside an active chemical facility with the PPE and site training that environment requires.
“The photos turned out great and are exactly what we need!”

Protective Suit Product Catalog
For a Decatur protective-clothing manufacturer, I photographed their chemical splash suit in use at a working industrial facility. The image led the product’s published catalog page, shown below.
As published.
Steel Industry Marketing
For a Decatur steel processor’s marketing materials, I photographed the people behind the product: the crew on the plant floor and the sales team among the finished coils.
Steel Mill Portrait
Inside a Decatur steel mill, where heat, noise, and moving equipment call for a photographer who knows how to work safely around production, and how to put people at ease while doing it.
Paper Mill, Courtland
For International Paper’s former mill in nearby Courtland, I photographed employees on the production floor, with the scale of the paper machine behind them.
Aviation at Point Mallard
