When Euro Auctions expanded their operations across Adelaide and Whyalla, they needed industrial photography that could capture their heavy machinery exactly as it sat — in working yards, under real conditions, ready for auction.
The task: provide detailed asset photography suitable for both online listings and printed materials. This meant working on-site in active industrial zones, adapting to weather, and photographing everything from excavators and wheel loaders to specialised transport equipment. No staged setups — just straight-shooting commercial photography designed for real-world auction platforms.

The Adelaide site hosted a range of construction and earthmoving gear, including tracked excavators, haul trucks, trailers, and smaller plant. I delivered a structured set of profile images, operational detail shots, and component close-ups for each asset — exactly the kind of visuals needed to build buyer confidence in a competitive auction environment.
Working around active site operations meant timing every shot carefully. This is a skill honed from regular commercial photography in Adelaide, especially when shooting under industrial conditions.
See how event coverage in operational spaces works — many of the same principles apply when capturing active machinery yards.
Whyalla brought a different scale entirely. The site featured mining equipment, large-scale loaders, and unique transport solutions — all positioned within a confined industrial zone. Working in harsh midday light, I focused on capturing wide-angle shots without distortion, along with precise mechanical details like wear points, serials, and hydraulic systems.
Shooting safely from within site boundaries, I documented each asset in a way that aligned with Euro Auctions’ standard for accurate, honest visual representation — a core principle of genuine auction photography in South Australia.

For both Adelaide and Whyalla, I delivered:\n- High-resolution photographs with a consistent, professional look\n- Multi-angle coverage for each piece of machinery\n- Wide site overviews showing grouping and yard layout\n- Drone photography for contextual aerials\n- Web-optimised images tailored for auction platforms like Euro Auctions’ online portal\n- High-resolution versions for print and promotional use

Drone images were critical for giving Euro Auctions a comprehensive view of each site. I used CASA-approved drone equipment to create aerial perspectives of:\n- The full yard layout in both locations\n- Access points and heavy machinery groupings\n- Overview shots for marketing and auction previews
Drone photography for industrial and auction sites is now a standard part of my industrial coverage — especially when clients need both ground-level detail and site-wide context.
This project covered over 60 assets across two active industrial sites. Both ground-based and aerial photos were delivered within 72 hours of each shoot. I handled everything from shot planning and on-site execution to post-production and delivery.
Most industrial auction photography projects start from $500 (+GST), with final pricing dependent on scope, access conditions, and whether drone or video services are included.

Most commercial and industrial photography projects start from $850. Every job is quoted individually based on scope, but we always offer a fixed price with no surprises.

Nope — while we're based in South Australia, we travel interstate for industrial and commercial photography projects. Just let us know where you need us.
We’ve photographed manufacturing, brewing, food production, heavy machinery, agriculture, and corporate operations. If it's hands-on work, we’ll shoot it.
You can contact us here or check out our booking information page. We’ll chat through your project and sort out availability and pricing.
Absolutely. We often combine corporate headshots or product photography with industrial shoots — especially if you're looking for a full
The final image sets gave Euro Auctions a complete record of all machinery, ready for use in both their online auction listings and internal documentation. Every shot reflected the true condition of the assets — detailed, consistent, and professionally presented.
By combining experience in industrial photography, drone operations, and working knowledge of auction standards, I delivered exactly what Euro Auctions needed to support both their sales process and brand reputation.
