My recent project with Roadstone, a leading provider of building materials here in Ireland, gave me a brilliant opportunity to showcase the scale, power, and precision of their operations. This post highlights images from one of their quarries, demonstrating my ability to deliver high-quality photography for corporate clients. I focused on their impressive new fleet of Komatsu WA800 wheel loader and HD605 dump trucks.
Showcasing Scale and Strength
The image above sets the scene with the mammoth brand new machinery ready for action. These aren't just any trucks; they represent Roadstone's commitment to lowering their environmental impact while providing top-quality aggregates, cement, and building products across the country. Did you know that each of these trucks can carry a payload of over 90 tonnes? That's the equivalent of roughly 18 adult elephants! The wheel loader can carry even more at 115 tons!
This shoot presented unique challenges – the scale of the location, moving heavy machinery, and the ever-present dust required careful planning and execution. The result is a testament to my ability to deliver top-quality results in demanding environments.
The Human Element
While the machinery is impressive, it's the skilled workforce that brings it all to life. This image captures a team of Roadstone employees, a powerful reminder that behind every piece of heavy equipment, there are dedicated professionals ensuring the smooth delivery of materials. I find it important to show the human connection and show their expertise. It can draw in the viewer, and a potential client.
Capturing the Dynamics
This dynamic shot captures the Komatsu vehicles in motion descending into the quarry, a powerful visualization of the ongoing activity and sheer scale location. These images convey the energy and productivity of the site. I tried to bring the image alive by using a larger aperture to blur the foreground and add a sense of scale.
Imposing Presence: Up Close
This close-up of the Komatsu HD605 emphasizes its imposing presence. The low angle and tight framing highlight the massive scale, giving you a sense of what it's like to stand before one of these industrial giants. You can see every intricate part of the massive truck. I'm committed to capturing the detail that matters to industrial clients.
Capacity and Environment
This image provides a holistic view, showcasing the impressive capacity of the truck's bed, those huge tyres and the dramatic backdrop of the quarry. The angle emphasizes the scale of both the truck and its surroundings. To me this image says "Let's go accomplish something big!"
Driving Results: From Quarry to Web
This striking image of the Komatsu HD605 in motion, with its deliberate motion blur, perfectly encapsulates the energy of Roadstone's operations. This very image was adapted for a web banner, demonstrating my ability to create visuals that are impactful both in print and online. The one photo was able to be used across multiple formats.
This collection of images from the Roadstone project represents just a small sample of what I can achieve as a photographer. I pride myself on understanding the unique needs of my industrial and corporate clients, delivering images that enhance their brand image and marketing efforts, and adding eye catching interest to something you may not always view as art.
