    No idea, but i do have a suggestion.
    Find a local photographer or two, ring them up pretending to be a mining company looking for the exact same shoot and licensing conditions, and ask them for a quote (then undercut it by about 10-20%, depending on how certain you are of getting the gig).

    We also just had a pro photographer in here taking shots of a (coincidentally) mining-system control panel that i designed, I should go ask the marketing girls what they paid. The guy's gear wasn't even that impressive, a DX nikon of some description (old enough to be one of the <15mp ones, not the new 24mp-based ones) and what looked like a kit zoom lens. At least his lighting rig was good, and he definitely knew what he was doing with it, that counts for a lot more than sensor-IQ.

    An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.
