Commercial & Editorial Assignments

Commercial Assignments

The Iowa Photo Farm is available for commercial photography assignments where images are made to client direction and concepts for use in advertisements, sales brochures and other promotional projects.
We have completed commercial assignments for a wide range of companies and leading advertising agencies.

Advertisers we have been fortunate to help include: Bayer, Case, Cenex, Gleaner, Hesston, Massey Ferguson, Monsanto, Novartis Animal Health, Syngenta. Agencies include Ad Farm, AGCO In-House, AgriBusiness Communications Group, Ayres (formerly Ayres Kahler), BCS, Brighton, Brush Art, Colle McVoy, Gibbs & Soell, Hansen Communication, McCormick Company, Quarry Communications and VistaComm.

We have photographed on-location in 46 states, eight Canadian provinces and two international countries. With more than 30 years experience in agriculture, we have a solid understanding of farming and how to get the images you need. In short, we know canola from shine-ola … and just about everything in between.

   

Editorial Assignments

We provide photo/text packages to our magazine and newsletter clients. Leading magazines include Corn & Soybean Digest, Farm Journal, Hay & Forage Grower, Kansas Farmer, Nebraska Farmer, Successful Farming, Wallace’s Farmer, and more. Company sponsored publications that have used our photography and writing services: AGCO Advantage (formerly LandHandler), Farm Life, and Challenger Revolution. We also provide lifestyle photos to general interest magazines like Our Iowa. A number of our photographs have appeared as covers.

We can conduct interviews on-location at the time the photography is taken, or via phone. We also write the article and handle “checking copy” chores with the source. In any given year, we will handle up to 30 articles that include both photos and copy. We also shoot photos on assignment for editors who write their own articles and need location photography completed to a high quality level.
