Gursky creates large scale color photographs of industrial and technological environments with the same documentary precision and formal rigor found in Struth's work. His images of factories, research facilities, and modern infrastructure share the same cool observational tone and emphasis on human made systems.

Burtynsky photographs industrial landscapes and manufactured environments with striking color fidelity and large format detail, closely mirroring Struth's interest in technological subjects and scientific infrastructure. Both artists use photography to examine the aesthetic and conceptual weight of human industrial achievement.

Becher pioneered the systematic documentary photographic approach to industrial structures that directly influenced Struth's aesthetic of precise and detached examination of technological objects. His focus on functional industrial architecture shares the same interest in capturing the formal beauty of engineered structures.
