Tech storytelling needs more than blue circuit backgrounds. This handbook maps semiconductor, energy, space, and desk/news imagery in our gallery to real B2B use cases.
Semiconductor & advanced manufacturing
Wafer and inspection close-ups stress precision and cleanrooms—see wafer inspection 01 through 04 for fab reports and recruiting pages.
Energy & grid visuals
Electric grid lines and Earth from space pair with aerial wind features in Fuzhou & offshore wind for macro-to-infrastructure narratives.
Office, news & devices
Laptop news desk, newspaper top view, and iPhone screen close-up suit media and SaaS stories—distinct from people-focused support shots in the portrait handbook.
Safety, outdoor & lifestyle crossovers
Protective suit portraits, hikers on a summit, and senior relaxing outdoors humanize otherwise cold tech pages.
Abstract backgrounds—use sparingly
Abstract water ripples work for transitions, not as the only visual language of a site.
Alt & meta examples
Good alt: “Wafer chip inspection under microscope in a cleanroom, for semiconductor manufacturing stories.” Skip keyword lists.
Mix with 3D & video
Pair stills with Infinity 3D art and the network globe clip for keynotes.
