PDAC 2021 | Mining Industrial Photographer
Magazine / Marketing / Mining / 0 Comment / March 8, 2021

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 🙂

My “Signature” Underground Portrait| Sudbury Mining
Magazine / Mine Photos / Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / February 8, 2021

I captured this portrait of Don Toporowski for his profile (and other uses) after we finished with our creative photography session for RockMass Technologies.

Some factors I consider when creating these profile portraits:

– I tend to capture them horizontal to show the surrounding environment if used in other media besides a profile

– I leave enough space so the image can be cropped vertical for profile templates

– use lighting from background equipment (when possible) &drag the shutter for the exposure.

– Capture the smiling, serious and in between facial expressions (all have their uses).

This is what I call my “standard portrait” and after setup will only take a few seconds to capture a few portraits like this.

Thanks Don and the rest of the crew at RockMass for that opportunity to create.

Up Close With Impact!|Mining Photography
Magazine / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / October 26, 2020

One of my favorite images from the RockMass Technologies shoot we did last month balancing the underground environment and technology. Lighting, composition, focal length and depth of field are all in play. You just can’t snapshot an image like this and have the same visual impact.

Under The Hood
Magazine / Mining / Mining Equipment / 0 Comment / September 14, 2020

A quick view under the hood of the Relay at Miller Technology’s facility in North Bay Ontario where I created a series of images of the fabrication process of some of the fleet vehicles. Later, I photographed the Relay in it’s working environment underground at the Young Davidson Mine in Matachewan Ontario Here

Portrait Of A Welder
Magazine / Mining / Photography / Shop People / The People / underground / 0 Comment / September 2, 2020

My One Click Wonders.

Sometimes “I get lucky” (I use this term loosely)

A few months ago I created a few images of Melynda (Welder at Vale’s Creighton Mine) for a Canada Skills Publication. As she was moving into position I clicked the shutter button for my test shot to make sure everything was firing and this was the end result of the capture.

It’s dark and I adjusted my lighting for the task at hand but with low contrast and muted colors it has impact. It was my favorite image from the series and if I settled on it I would have been done the session in 1/13th of second lol.

Photographing New Grounds With Normet
Industrial / Magazine / Photography / underground / 0 Comment / July 9, 2020

New Grounds With Normet

I found myself underground again but this time within a different scenario, one of Canada’s largest transit expansion. This was the first time I have been introduced to the tunneling environment and I felt right at home from the get go. I had a few hours to capture the equipment and processes for my client Normet www.normet.com and I was eager to capture as much as I could while I had this opportunity.

Concrete sprayers, transmixers and dumper trucks where busy pushing forward with the expansion and as I looked around I discovered a whole new “city” alive with the hustle and bustle of people and machines.

I have been photographing industry for over 20 years and each time I discover something new it’s like the first time all over again. Even though it’s very similar to the underground mining environment I frequent, new challenges always emerge to overcome when trying to create those images that stand out and that’s the challenge I love to accept and tackle.

Thanks to Jason Huck for bringing me on board to capture the story images.

Diesel Progress Magazine
Magazine / Mining Equipment / Mining Magazine / underground / 0 Comment / July 8, 2020

If your going to be in writing have the quality of images worthy of a cover. This months issue of Diesel Progress Magazine (www.dieselprogress.com) features the innovative Relay BEV from Miller Technology with electric drive systems lead developer Paul Summers behind the wheel.

I photographed the Relay in the Miller Industrial shop a few years back and then recently again in it’s working environment underground at the Young Davidson mine here in Northern Ontario. We created a good variety of key marketable images during that session with some of them featured within the issue’s write up.
