Capturing Precision – Our Photoshoot with SA Gauge

 

By Hein Jonker

We recently had the privilege to work with SA Gauge, a renowned manufacturer of industrial gauges based in Durban, South Africa. With over 30 years of expertise, SA Gauge produces a range of high-quality products including industrial pressure gauges, thermometers, diaphragm seals, pressure testing kits, and related accessories. This project was our largest and most intricate product photography project to date; an immensely rewarding experience from start to finish.

The Challenges

The photo shoot presented several technical challenges due to the reflective surfaces of the gauges, their varying sizes, and the unique attachments each product featured. These factors made staging and photographing the items a meticulous task. To ensure we captured the best possible images, we imported specialised equipment from the USA, enabling us to conduct the photoshoot on location at SA Gauge’s factory near Durban.

Over the course of four intensive days, we photographed each product at various angles with precision. This was followed by several days of editing and deep-etching each image to meet SA Gauge’s requirements.

The process required acute attention to detail to ensure that the final images accurately represented the quality and functionality of each product.

The Experience

Despite the challenges, the entire experience was extremely positive. Working with the SA Gauge team was seamless and enjoyable. Their passion and commitment to quality contributed greatly to the success of the project. Every moment spent working on this assignment was filled with learning and growth. It was an experience that not only tested our skills and physical endurance, but also expanded our capabilities in product photography.

The Outcome

The final images turned out to become the new benchmark for our future product photography projects. We are profoundly grateful for the trust and opportunity given to us by SA Gauge and look forward to a lasting and fruitful relationship with this respected company.

SA Gauge embodies vision, integrity, and legacy. We are proud to have played a role in showcasing their exceptional products through our photography.

Below are a few images from the photoshoot, providing a glimpse of the work we accomplished together.

Furthermore, this project presented another opportunity to help improve their image and showcase their products in the industry, a fitting new website designed by the very person and agency that developed and still maintain our website – Hein Jonker Media House.
