One of our clients would like for us to arrange for a photographer to photograph the inside and outside of a factory in Oman. I will consider photographers who are based in Dubai or other cities close by.

I am looking for a photographer who can photograph based on these specifications from the client:

In general, we are looking for clean, simplified compositions shot from compelling perspectives. The character of the edges and lines should be straightforward and sparse, eliminating clutter and background when possible while maintaining a limited color palette. The photographs should be based on design elements such as leading lines, selective focus, crisp/uniform lighting, and isolation of important details. The photographs should ultimately direct the eyes of the viewer to the most important elements, while retaining a compositionally minimal image consisting of straight lines (as opposed to perspectives angled from below or rounded distortions), without the distraction of outside elements. In this way, the composition will be harmonious with the design of the corresponding marketing materials.

I would like to look at online portfolios for consideration for this project.

Send reply's to Robin.Weiner@prnewswire.com

Thank you, Robin Weiner Manager â Photography PR Newswire
