Here is another chance I had to photograph an industrial worker that has never had his portrait created while working. I hope he enjoys the photo as much as I had creating it.

A Sudbury Platinum Corp geologist carefully stacks core samples at the snow covered drill site. Snow and cold weather can be an inconvenience but Winter waits for no one in the mining industry.

Depending on the environment you see it in, the bucket from a dragline can look pretty small when you compare it to the beast it’s attached to, but when you get up close and personal with it (like doing repairs) you quickly realize it’s a giant among men.

In the Mining/Industrial fields there is a fine line between an artistic and profitable image that companies use. With image editing software at everyone’s fingertips I am noticing a lot of images that are “over processed” in post editing. Anyone can do it, usually it’s a click of a button in any editing software or phone app. Now I am not saying this is a bad thing, heck I have some images in my portfolio that some consider over processed (and I agree) but these images were used for a specific purpose and 90% of the time are used for my own personal motives.
What I am seeing though is entire websites with over processed, painterly, HDR images. These might look great and I know they look amazing on your walls as an “art piece” but it does draw away from what the image actually represents which should be an accurate depiction of your products, staff, processes and facilities when placed in your website galleries and marketing material. Stick with the basics of good lighting, exposures and subject matter and you can’t go wrong.
Artistic plugin added. Great for personal use but not for marketing materials.

While I was photographing some time laps images this transport driver pulled up in front of me. I couldn’t resist creating a portrait of his rig for him.

The other side of the mining/industrial sectors I like to photograph is the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and Land Reclamation Projects. This is a side that most people do not think exists but I have photographed these projects for all of my major clients.

While I was photographing out of the Country I had the opportunity to capture some creative portraits of miners, industrial workers and tradesmen/women. Some of them have NEVER had their portrait taken…………ever. They were all smiles when I put them in front of the camera just like this fellow below. His smile was from ear to ear when I asked if he would like a portrait in front of the truck he works on. He told me it was up to him to keep this truck running. He was proud.

“There are just some things you shouldn’t use your Smartphone for! Image is vitally important and therefore any company photo’s & industrial portfolio should depict that “splash” of quality only a professional can capture.
While on location I try to photograph all aspects of the operations including people, facilities, processes and products. These images are then used for the clients Annual Reports, Website, Investor Fact Sheets, Blog Posts, Trade show Materials and Presentations.
