Develop high-impact visuals to support the launch of Reinke’s E3 irrigation system to help drive meaningful global media and marketing engagement.
The Problem
Reinke Manufacturing is a Nebraska-based global leader in center pivot irrigation — technology that feeds millions of people across dozens of countries. When they developed the E3 system, they had something genuinely worth talking about. What they didn’t have was imagery that could carry that story to global media, international distributors, and marketing channels worldwide.
The Thinking
Agricultural photography is unforgiving. You’re working with equipment that operates at scale, in conditions you can’t fully control, with light that changes by the minute. Getting technically accurate images that also stop someone mid-scroll in a trade publication — or on a distributor website in another country — requires more than showing up with a camera.
The Work
On-site in Deschler, Nebraska, we captured the E3 system at work — from the engineering detail of the drive motors and control panels to the full sweep of the pivot against a sunrise sky. We did extensive pre-shoot planning, but arriving before dawn at a location you’ve never seen means the real work starts the moment you get there. We moved fast — reading the light, adjusting positions, making decisions on the fly — to capture images built to work everywhere: close-ups that hold up in a trade magazine, wide landscapes that anchor a global campaign, silhouettes that work as hero images on a website anywhere in the world.
Reinke now has a visual library built not just for this launch — but for every campaign, channel, and market that follows.
