Forgive me for being clueless about this, but I am wondering how photographer's get access to places such as mines, ship yards, etc that are usually closed to the public. Do these photographers pay to get into these places? Or do they have contact with big shots within the companies? I am working on a series and would love to be able to gain access to the Iron Ore Company of Canada in my home town to photograph my father. This company is fairly strict on photos in the workplace, but they have definitely allowed photographers in the past. Any tips on this? I am definitely able to get in touch with higher-up staff members about this, but I'm not sure about the right route to take, or the correct way to be taken seriously.
