Metso minerals australia pty ltd commissioned me to photograph this screen.These fantastic australian made pieces of equipment are designed to "shake their brains out" sifting ore and minerals and NOT to break.The workmanship is a credit to the crew in the Carrington facility.

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.
