Majer Metal Works recently installed a stunning steel and wood feature staircase at Arris Design in Baltimore, Maryland. This project highlights the craftsmanship and precision that Majer Metal Works brings to every job. The staircase, featuring blackened steel with stainless steel cable, oak treads, and a handrail, perfectly blends industrial strength with elegant beauty. It reflects the company’s ability to create both functional and visually striking structures.
The Joy of Photographing People at Work
Photographing people at work is a unique and rewarding experience. Watching professionals apply their skills with precision and dedication is not only fascinating but also inspiring. There’s always something to learn from observing others, as everyone brings a diverse set of talents to the table. Capturing Majer Metal Works as they installed the custom steel and wood staircase was particularly interesting. The team’s attention to detail and the grit they demonstrated in executing each step of the process were truly impressive. Witnessing their craftsmanship firsthand made me appreciate the artistry involved in their work even more.

“His kind directness makes working with him so easy.”
Working with Jiho is an unique experience. He is an extremely engaged photographer, and he works very hard to capture the most compelling images that a particular subject might provide. He doesn’t hold back, but he is also very particular, resulting in images with both quality and dynamism. His work ethic is impressive, and his care in treating people never falters. In addition to shooting images of work in our studio, he has taken images of completed work both after and during installation. In all circumstances, he has successfully engaged the people in the environment, making the process of shooting a difficult object in a busy place a special event rather than an imposition, and the results are visible in the quality of his work.
I would recommend Jiho for any project—his attention to the subject is just as careful when shooting a person, an inanimate object, or even a pile of tools in a messy studio. His kind directness makes working with him so easy.
