Let us know if you need any help.
Thanks Crystal Tate and Macie Dycus with Diamond T Productions for having us.
Just a few miles north of Interstate 20, in Ruston Louisiana sits one of the areas top rodeo and equestrian venues. The North Louisiana Exhibition Center is primarily centered around rodeo type events but also plays host to everything from dog shows and 4h events to lawn mower races and tractor pulls.
Riverbank Products is known for the quality photos we produce in the challenging and fast paced world of rodeo action photography. Over the last several years, Chris Porter, owner of Riverbank Products, has shot photos of barrel races, Youth Little Britches Rodeo, and horsemanship clinics at the North Louisiana Exhibition Center.
As facilities director, Angela Manning was gearing up to make some changes to signage inside the arena, she contacted us about some photos for use in new signs surrounding the bleachers. In total, 28 photos would be needed for the project. Other area photographers also submitted their work to be considered with several good candidates. In total 7 of the 28 images used for the new signage would come from the image archives of Riverbank Products.
As a photographer and content creator, it never gets old seeing your images printed, especially printed large. We put a lot of effort into creating the highest quality photos we can produce. I appreciate Angela Manning and the North Louisiana Exhibition Center for recognizing that and using our work. Below are the images selected for the project.
To book your next event at the North Louisiana Exhibition Center, contact Angela Manning at (318) 243-4941 or by email at manningangela@bellsouth.net
If you have an event scheduled at the North Louisiana Exhibition Center, we’d love to work with you to help promote your event with quality images and professional advertising campaigns. Give us a call or visit our Contact page for more info on how you too can have professional images, websites, or other services provided for your event with Riverbank Products.
From rodeo to jackpot barrel racing, over the last several years, we have honed our skills in the area of equine sports event photography. While there are a lot of people running around with cameras these days, if you want professional results, and want to bring professionalism to your event, there is more hiring a photographer than showing up with a camera. Riverbank Products consistently turns out some of the highest quality action photos in the Arkansas/Louisiana area.
Aside from photos, our other work through Riverbank Products primarily revolves around marketing other businesses and brands. We have helped multiple organizations produce professional content needed to build major brands including photo and video work and from print media to live streaming to TV Shows. I’d love to help you do the same.
Starting in the 2021 season, We will only be shooting barrel racing events with event promotors we’ve partnered with under contract. This helps us help you by producing more professional images and more professional events. Each contract can have additional services added to it to help better promote you and your events in a more professional manner.
If you are an event producer or rodeo committee, for some of the best, professional photos in the business, contact us and book Riverbank Products for your next event. We’ll be happy to put a package together to shoot your event and grow your business to make it a success.
As mentioned above, we also offer web design, social media management, video production, graphic design, and other services that can be added to help further promote your events and your business. If you have any questions, let us know.
I get asked a lot about digital versions of my photos for facebook use. I also see a lot of people taking photos of their printed photos or photos of my computer screen at the runs for facebook. Or even screenshots of images from a website or facebook.
I hate having to address this type of thing because I’m a very giving kinda guy, and this is not directed at any one person but this is just not cool y’all. Although this seems common for barrel racing photos, these same issues affect all of my photos and other photographers as well. Some photographers may have different views on the use of their copyrighted images so if in doubt always check with the photographer.
We live in a social media world. I understand the desire for social media photos. I understand the culture we live in and that we want to share our lives with our friends as soon as possible. But lets face it, these photos of photos always look terrible compared to the actual photo. I know you love your horse and are proud of your run. Taking action photos in these settings is very difficult anyway and a photo of a photo of you run is not the best way to share the success of you run with your friends that you can be proud of. So help me help you!!!
Digital versions of my photos are available for purchase online as well as prints. I offer several different digital options and licensing options of photos. This ranges from small easily sharable photos all the way up to the original image. I also offer personal licensing and commercial licensing options if you’d like to use my images when you get ready to sell a horse or if you have a sponsored product that you need help marketing. If you contact me, I can even do custom editing or graphics to help you better market your events or products.
Online digital orders such as these, do not contain a watermark and you are free to share those photos anywhere you like provided you comply with the personal vs commercial use licensing agreement.
As an added service, most of the time, If you order photos online I try to pick the best image ordered and post it to facebook or instagram so when you order from me, you are getting a digital version as well that I don’t mind you sharing directly from my facebook page.
The images that I post do have a small watermark at the bottom and if you save the photos and create your own post, please don’t edit this out but you are welcome to share that image so long as you tag me or my page in your post.
The preferred method is to just share directly to your page from my original post. This gets the image on your page and still contains a link back to my page which helps us both.
I appreciate the work you put into your horse and I appreciate the power and intensity of the sport. If you appreciate the images I take, the best way to show that is to share the love by purchasing the images. I work hard to get the best profesional images I can but if it’s not profitable, then I can’t shoot barrel racing events. I’ll be more than happy to help you in anyway I can if you’ll just ask.
This weekend, we shot the third annual friends of the MAC Barrel Run in Bastrop, LA. Even in the face of hurricane Barry, who isn’t winning any races as he moves through the area, we had a pretty good turnout.
Photos are now live. Check them out online.
