Cover Of The Community Report: Mining Photographer
Marketing / Mine Photos / Mining / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / December 17, 2019

Images I created for Vale Canada LTD have been showcased throughout their 2018/2019 Integrated Community Report.

http://www.vale.com/canada/en/aboutvale/communities/pages/community-reports.aspx

The Front/Back images were photographed at Totten Mine in the Summer month of July.  In addition a feedback card was mailed out to the community which I just received in the post.  

I rarely get to capture images of surveyors underground so it was a pleasure to job shadow Kayla and photograph while she was working.

Open Up And Say Ahhhh! A Throwback
Commercial / Marketing / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / November 8, 2019

Here is a throw back session from 2008 creating images for the Cambrian College Dental Program here in Sudbury Ontario. I have created hundreds of images for their program guide and view book over the years and each session is always fun with the friends I have made there.

Mining Is Family
Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Magazine / Photography / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / September 26, 2019

A familiar image popped up in my “memories” feed today so I revisited this session that took place way back in October 2008 when I started to photograph more underground sessions around Sudbury, Ontario. I created some underground work environment images as well as a “Family Portrait” for one proud father as both his daughters are involved in the Mining Industry and still are today. We were fortunate to have all three on site during this shoot so of course I create a keepsake memento for them.

Decreasing The Dust
Agriculture / Commercial / Industrial / Mining / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / September 20, 2019

Vale uses a few different methods to manage dust control at their Sudbury Ontario tailings facility. One method (seen here) is the spreading of straw using agricultural equipment across the tailings pond.

Portrait Of A Pilot
aerial / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / August 22, 2019

I had a few minutes to create individual portraits for each of the participants of the Health Sciences North Foundation photoshoot with Air Ornge after we completed the initial creative shot. Lighting was a bit tricky with lots of reflection coming from the helicopters windshield but in the end it worked ok if I do say so myself.

Mining Images That Flow
Marketing / Mine Photos / Mining Magazine / Photography / Shop People / Sudbury Ontario / 0 Comment / August 20, 2019

This image showcases a few old school lessons I learned in photography composition. “You look at an image like you read a book, from left to right” was mentioned to me early on in my career and it stuck with me ever since.

Using leading lines and creating highlights and shadows with my lighting I draw the viewer into a specific part of the image. In this case I used the leading lines of the truck to draw your attention to the main subject while utilizing some background lighting for impact. This overall composition leaves room for “copy” on the left side of the image over the negative space of the truck while drawing your attention onto the main subject of the miner and tablet. As well with this composition the image can be cropped vertically isolating the subject thus giving a designer several options for layout placement.

Shotcrete Sprayer Portrait
Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / Sudbury Ontario / underground / 0 Comment / August 16, 2019

One of the more difficult pieces of equipment to photograph in action the Shotcrete Sprayer is easily photographed before the nozzle starts projecting it’s contents onto the entire area.

Remote Operated Scoop

An operator uses a RRC (Radio Remote Control) to maneuver this scoop while maintaining a safe distance from an elevated platform.

Looking Things Over With Lopes
Industrial / Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / Shop People / Sudbury Ontario / 0 Comment / July 23, 2019

I captured this image of Mr. Lopes as I liked the composition this vantage point created overlooking the project that Lopes Ltd (www.lopesltd.com) was spearheading. Felix mentioned to me that it would be a great overhead view of the project and once I captured some installation progress images I took advantage of the scene to create this portrait.

Parking Lot To Promotional Materials
Commercial / Marketing / Mining / Mining Equipment / Mining Magazine / Photography / Sudbury Ontario / 0 Comment / July 11, 2019

My clients like to get promotional photography created before the mining equipment is shipped and the majority of the time I have to photograph it in the industrial shop or outside in the yard. This isn’t an issue but it does take some time in front of the computer to complete but in the end they have some great images to be showcased in their marketing platforms.
