I shot the industrial zones with my Canon eos mark 3. The police use to claim the zones are forbidden , you just have to cross it, don't stay unmoved, don't shoot, don't look at the refinery. I asked them why this is not allowed to take pictures!? Never, they have given me the truth, but one day one of them spoke about the murder context...and the petrol crise.
My fascination to shoot the industrial zones is not a simple frenzy. I use to shoot those places about 10 years ago. I find there beauty though the strong reality ( pollution, hard working...), they also symbolize the capitalism ( power and misery), and they are like closed zone for the strangers, and photographers which got no permission. They are not democratic for pictures and people who mades them.
I just can make some fiction of those place, I just can imagine something else because I cannot see the reality, this is a reason why my photographies seem artificial in a fragment of the reality.
