Agricultural Photographer

Maël Gonnet -

As an agricultural photographer, I put my expertise in the agricultural sector at the service of creating visuals for its stakeholders: cooperatives, machinery manufacturers, food and seed suppliers, fruit and vegetable distributors, banks, and more. Based in France, I lead your projects all around Europe and worlwide.

As a strategic partner to SMEs and major international groups in the agricultural sector (Cargill, Case IH, Cooperl, KWS, Le Saint, Banque Populaire Caisse Epargne), I create visuals that are as authentic as they are corporate to boost your brand image and the effectiveness of your advertising campaigns.

Having worked in corporate environments and always lived in contact with the agricultural sector, I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the agricultural world and established a working methodology that adapts to the constraints of this environment—weather, seasonality, biosecurity. As a result, I am able to produce photo reportages on farms, portraits of farmers, advertising images of agricultural machinery, and drone photography.

Through this portfolio, discover the vitality of agriculture through captivating photographs! As a photographer specializing in the agricultural sector, I capture the very essence of your activity. From working the land to innovative machinery and food production, my images reflect the passion and commitment of your cooperative or company.

Offer your audience an authentic and inspiring glimpse of your agricultural activity through visuals that celebrate the strength and diversity of your sector.

How does an agricultural photo reportage unfold?

As part of your agricultural photography project, I propose organizing a briefing before the shoot.

This discussion aims to understand your expectations and challenges, and to co-create an agricultural photo reportage aligned with your communication strategy.

We will discuss your company’s identity (values, positioning, desired image) as well as the key elements to highlight (professions, seasonality, products, human interactions, professional gestures) for your project.

Finally, we will address organizational and logistical elements:

the reportage schedule,
the locations to photograph,
the people involved,
the key moments of the day or season.

This preparation phase allows me to structure the reportage in alignment with your brand message, while anticipating the constraints of your environment.

Before any outdoor photo reportage, a weather check is conducted in the days preceding the shoot. This ensures that sunlight, precipitation, and cloud cover conditions are favorable.

A collaborative approach with digital tools is, in my view, a guarantee of success for your factory photography project.

That is why I encourage communication and sharing throughout the shoot.

To achieve this, I rely on a connected shoot that will foster the involvement of participants, critical feedback, and encourage proactive suggestions.

A pre-selection of photos will be sent to you within a few days. This will give you the opportunity to choose the most relevant and impactful photographs for your communication. Finally, fine retouching tailored to your field of activity will be performed for a professional result.

Testimonials from agricultural companies

“We hired Maël for an agricultural photo report on regenerative agriculture leaded by Cargill. The rapport with Maël was immediately good; he quickly understood our challenges and the result we were aiming for with this report. On the day, Maël was highly professional, full of suggestions and, above all, very creative—and it shows in the results. We are delighted with the outcome; the photos are very well received, even by our international colleagues. I can only recommend Maël and his professionalism for all your photography projects.”

Do you have questions about your next agricultural reportage?

I will try to answer your questions regarding your agricultural photography needs.

Why produce an agricultural photo reportage?

Producing an agricultural photo reportage is a powerful tool for showcasing your entire activity, from production to the final product. In a sector where transparency, quality, and authenticity have become essential, professional images allow you to demonstrate what truly makes your company strong: mastery of the land, care given to crops, the expertise of your teams, and your commitment to responsible and sustainable agriculture.

An agricultural photo reportage offers your clients, partners, and consumers a concrete view of your expertise: life in the fields, the precision of gestures, harvests, livestock, machinery, infrastructure, and all the stages that contribute to the quality of your products. These visuals strengthen your communication, whether for your website, CSR communication, social media, commercial materials, or employer branding.

Beyond aesthetics, a photo essay also helps build trust by showcasing the reality of your work. It highlights your commitments, your quality approach, your traceability, and your connection to the local community.
It is a strategic tool for enhancing your brand image, establishing your credibility, and communicating in a consistent and authentic way with your various audiences.

By choosing a photographer specialized in the agricultural and agri-food sector, you benefit from expert insight capable of capturing the technical aspects, human dimension, and natural character of your profession, creating powerful visuals that tell your story.

What is your geographical area of operation?

As a passionate agricultural photographer, I support you throughout France and internationally.

My experience in project management of over 10 years in business allows me to coordinate and manage projects across the entire country. I can therefore mobilize photographers throughout the national territory for your multi-farm projects across diverse sectors.

Why choose me as your agricultural photographer?

The grandson of a farmer, I grew up in an agricultural environment in the rural region of Mayenne. Naturally, I developed a particular sensitivity and interest in the agricultural world.

Through my skills, I am committed to supporting you in showcasing your activity, corporate culture, equipment, and expertise.

Engaging my agricultural photography services guarantees you impactful illustrations to showcase your agricultural activity.

As a professional photographer specializing in agricultural photo reportage, I have had the opportunity to conduct numerous shoots on farms. I travel to the heart of your activity to create authentic images of your company’s stakeholders and their work.

By entrusting me with your agricultural photography, you ensure you have a professional and demanding partner dedicated to your image.

What is the rate for an agricultural photographer?

Every company is different, and every agricultural photo reportage has its own specificities. To respond most effectively to your agricultural photo reportage requests, I offer customized quotes.

Are you equipped with a drone?

Aerial drone photography adds an extra dimension to your agricultural photography and video projects. The overall view of a farm, the scale of machinery, or the graphic aesthetics of plots are all distinguishing elements that will give a more qualitative dimension to your services. This type of image sends a strong signal to your audience: that of an organization investing in the quality of its communication, commensurate with the challenges it represents.

As a certified drone pilot, I operate with professional equipment (Mavic 3 Pro) ensuring high resolution and a stable, sharp result, even when conditions are not optimal. This standard ensures the quality of your photo and video services.

Each drone mission is conducted in strict compliance with applicable regulations, with the required flight authorizations according to the areas flown over, for reliable service without surprises.

Do you produce agricultural videos?

Yes, I also lead professional teams for video content production: advertising campaigns, customer testimonials, promotional videos for agricultural equipment, and more.
