Out of the corner of my eye.
This happens a lot. I will be creating a specific image for my client and out of the corner of my eye I see the “next shot”, even though it’s not on the required list we discussed, I know it is one that has both a beneficial element to my client as well as the person I am about to capture. It’s not staged, it’s not rehearsed, it’s just replicated.

This is the first year since 2012 that I will not be able to attend PDAC and roam the halls meeting and chatting with industry professionals from around the world. I would always kick off my vacation with the PDAC convention looking forward to some networking but more importantly (IMO) hanging out with friends I have made over the years while photographing the industry.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend virtually either as I am working throughout the week with clients but here’s to a successful #pdac2021 virtual convention and congratulations to the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) team and everyone involved in their hard work this past year to bring the convention to many more people who could not attend in person. Enjoy the week everyone 🙂






By now we are all familiar with the buzzing sound of drones as they fly above our heads outdoors or deep underground in the drifts. I see more and more drone’s being used in the mining industry and I must say the technology that accompanies the skilled aviationist’s is impressive and fascinating. Watching Matt Mackinnon founder of Unmanned Aerial Services Inc skillfully maneuver his drone through some complex areas and watching his screen where the Emesent software displayed the 3d model in real time was a first for me and I couldn’t take my eyes away.
This was the first time I photographed a drone underground and it was a challenging and exciting opportunity.
A little throwback and a “congratulations” to everyone at Wabi Iron and Steel Corp and their future upgrades (read article: https://lnkd.in/eh5Y_t2)
My first experience in a Foundry was at their New Liskeard facility back in 2012. I created a few images for them via the marketing company TTC Advertising. I could have spent days photographing all the different aspects of their facility but only had one day for key creatives.

The red & white color scheme is easily identifiable with the Sandvik name and I had the opportunity to create a few images of this Sandvik titan while I was on site at Barrick’s Hemlo Mine.

After driving around in the Relay from www.millertechnology.com this looked like a great spot to capture a few more images before we finished for the day . #miningphotog #relay #millertechnology
“There are 2 distinct subjects within the image and both compliment each other within the environment. When there is too much going on within the image we (photographers) call it “clutter” and if it is hard to distinguish what the image is trying to showcase then the purpose of the image is lost.” ~ James Hodgins
