Commercial Field Photography

"Field photography" is photography that requires:

travel to remote locations - ecotourist resorts, mines, pastoral leases, conservation areas etc - and

work under field conditions - land or stock management issues, wildlife and native vegetation, closeups of biocontrol agents on wild plant or crops, mining operations, ecotour attractions at the end of a day's bushwalk, to mention only a few.

Most commercial photographers are set up to photograph in the studio, in town or at easily accessible locations. When pressed to travel further afield, for long periods, their daily rates become prohibitive. When asked to photograph difficult subjects under field conditions, their experience and equipment may not match the task.

This type of photography needs special logistics, equipment, skills, understanding of the subject, and costings appropriate to the conditions. Wayne Lawler has trade qualifications and 20 years experience in editorial and field photography, both before and concurrently with his work in wildlife science and community conservation.

Recent assignments include work for four major national conservation organisations, a wilderness resort, an indigenous community, and local and state government. Comments from the last three clients: "the pictures are fantastic", "everyone...is so impressed with your work", "your wonderful images...".

Service and Costing: Wayne supplies high resolution digital files from professional digital acquisition equipment up to 54 megapixels, or colour transparencies (35mm or larger format depending on end use) or scans if required. The client receives high resolution RGB files or original transparencies with joint copyright (royalty-free) for use now and in the future.

Costing is by a low day-rate plus production costs eg. model fees, aircraft hire, travel to remote locations etc. Alternatively, a cost structure based on production costs plus a per selected image charge can be negotiated, in which the client only pays for the images wanted. Wayne is confident the client will like them! This price is subsidised by stock sales made from similar images taken while on the shoot.

This makes the cost of the photography so low that whole new applications open up which have previously been too expensive to have professionally photographed, due to the time needed.
