The image on the latest issue of CIM Magazine (https://magazine.cim.org/en/) features the Rokion R400 (www.rokion.com) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) manufactured by Prairie Machine (www.prairiemachine.com) that we photographed underground at Vale’s Creighton Mine just outside of Sudbury, Ontario.
When collaborating with a new client we discuss the photography needs in regards to media, variety and application. If you contact me to discuss photography I will ask you what you images you have used in the past and we will discuss the different ideas to showcase your product in a way that is different than previous images.
My goal with all my images is to get people to view it, read it, click it and ask for more information about it. My goal is to create a variety of high impact usable images to be used on my clients website, marketing materials, trade show booths and their social media platforms as well as featured articles in trade magazines. Sometimes we have the time for elaborate setups and sometimes I am shooting on the fly but each time I present my clients with the best product I can create.
If you think your company is lacking on visuals I would love to talk to you. I will look at your content, your image library and I’ll be honest with you from the start if I think you already have great photography or if there is room for improvement.

This Caterpillar Haul truck was only stationary for a few minutes where I managed to capture this image and then get out of the way.
Most people will never see the true scale of innovation, technology, safety and sustainability the mining industry encompasses. I have been fortunate enough to create images that showcase the mining world above and below the earth as well as the people whose lives are dedicated to it’s success. There is so much of this industry I have yet to see and photograph as it is continuously evolving and this is what pushes me to get to the next level of creativity.
It’s always warm in the warm room as I call it. Some are open spaces while others are tight for space where every movement to complete the gold pour process is calculated and timed for maximum safety and efficiency. Looking like astronauts before take off the dance of the gold pour has become one of my favorite things to photograph from start to finish.
A look back at a great series of images I created for Metso in 2015 inside the ball mill. I had a great experience for my first time in a Ball mill and these two gentleman ensured all safety procedures were in place for a successful photography shoot.
It takes a lot of man power and heavy equipment to successfully move dirt from one area to another. Like an assembly line these machines work around the clock to strip material down to the pay dirt and then efficiently get that material to the plant.
Roaming Underground In The Rokion I photographed the Rokion R400 www.rokion.com last year deep underground at Vale’s Creighton Mine. Along with the Rokion R100 I manged to create a good variety of images to be showcased on their website and marketing materials.
“I see you there walking around my personal space, chasing the equipment, people and light as it fades into my horizon. Many have come before you, many have succeeded in capturing my good side but many have also failed. Show me respect and walk safely within my domain and I will reward you with captured glimpses that will stay true to the end of time.” ~ The Open Pit
