ric woods photography shooting for Industrea Mining Equipment & Metso Minerals (aust) Ltd

We offer our clients many services including high quality image capture on digital or film. Extensive digital post production service are available also.

These images (below) we compiled for a 2m high trade show banner for metso minerals. File sizes of 2 gig and more require computer hardware with "grunt" and this is what we have in our studio."Computers with Grunt"

Many of the machines we photograph cannot be moved from where they are constructed this is where our deep etch technique. We can drop our clients 80 tonne machine onto any background they choose, including white. We consider many factors in producing the finished image.Such as; the centre image in the banner above was dropped onto a background that was off white, this gives the impression that the mining screen white is BHP chosen colour looks SUPER white as the result.

Industrea Mining Equipment another of our mining clients wants their machines presented in the best way possible for their sales brochures overseas.

So after we capture the images such as the Grader and the 80T choc carrier below we then deep etch them and drop them on white for their graphic artist to place in the required setting.

The finished images have far more appeal.

Vision Financial Planners shoot

We have been working with Vision Financial Planners http://www.visionfp.com.au/Staff/hamish_f.html developing a new clean look for their staff profiles. These guys are a great firm and now I use their services myself...us visual people don't do numbers well, so I delegate that stuff to the experts.They are heavily in involved in housing loans so we decided that we would shoot them outside in front of some of those new blue buildings in Newcastle.(see the set up below)

This worked really well until we needed to shoot 3 more staff and the winter weather produced weeks of wind and rain making it impossible make a reliable shoot schedule. So we made another plan ( see video)

We also are able to offer our clients other image styles for their web and brochures.Below is a DL flyer that we illustrated for Vision FP.These are hand dont and photographed then taken into Photoshop for refinement and the addition oif colour. I use Photoshop because I dont have enough timer to learn Illustrator and Indesign...
