Or: More SWMS Than Hot Dinners

Overview

My client is a global mining company that needed industrial photographs and drone footage of their operations across four sites in central eastern QLD for their marketing material.

They wanted shots of their people in action – not fake setups of people being posed for the camera.

My Client’s Problem

They needed access to four sites. They don’t manage any of them.

Getting site approvals was going to be tricky; four sites, different safety docos needed for each.

They’ve also had problems in the past with images being unusable because they showed workers with incomplete PPE or not working safely (e.g., standing under a suspended load).

My Solution

I’ve been working in the mining industry for over a decade.

I have SWMS ready to go and know industry standard PPE and safe work practices for open cut mining.

I know how close I can get to live operations, the best vantage points for hero shots, and how I can work without compromising safety or production.

The Outcome

Getting access to all four sites was seamless

The images we gathered were all usable as they met PPE and safe work standards

The client has a cache of powerful images they can use for years

Jen was so easy to work with from the first phone call (not to mention incredibly flexible!) when we had to change the shoot THREE times due to weather. She was so patient, adaptable and professional in the lead-up to the shoot that I had full confidence in her before she had even snapped a single photograph. She works closely with clients to ensure they’re happy with the final result.

We’re constantly impressed by Jen’s eye for detail, new ideas and easy approach. She puts people at ease and brings out their natural characters. Her gumption to get the job done is impressive. Whatever our requirement, Jen is able to either take care of us directly or get in touch with people who have the required skills. Overall, Jen is a first class photographer with a relaxing personality who always delivers.

We needed to capture a large number of images at a number of different sites and we were concerned about the logistics of this project and the length of time it would take to complete. Jen instantly understood the scope of work required and drove the project, working closely with a number of staff, to achieve the desired results. Jen is very thorough and has a comprehensive understanding of the building industry.
