Facing The Other Face At The Face
Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Magazine / Uncategorized / 0 Comment / February 3, 2021

My last session of 2020 was with MacLean Engineering at their R&D Facility creating images of this BEV Shotcrete Sprayer. Among many features, the field of view through the cab window was something that stood out and I thought of an angle that would easily showcase it.

E&MJ Magazine (Engineering And Mining Journal) features a great article called “The Year Mining Went Electric” by Carly Leonida including a few images from MacLean Engineering.

Wheels On The Ground
Photography / Uncategorized / 0 Comment / January 12, 2021

Transportation is another key element in industry that sometimes get’s left behind when it comes to media exposure. Some of the “moves” I have photographed of heavy equipment or facility components have been impressive with transport logistics through rural areas. It takes a large team for safe planning and execution.

Robotics In The Industry

This ABB IRB places the drill rod into the Eitel Straightener at the Salto Heat Treating facility here in Ontario Canada. The robotic placement and the Eitel’s repeated process ensures equivalent results each and every time.

The Hemlo Hour | Mining Industrial Photographer

The Hemlo Hour

I have driven past this site dozens of times in my travels and always thought this would be a great capture. Last month I had the opportunity make it happen.

It was the last morning on site and the sky was clear for the first time in days. It was still an hour before sunrise and a thin layer of ice formed on the water below reflecting the lights and color tones throughout the view. It did not disappoint.

The hardest part about creating this image was placing the bit on the tailgate. True story.

I See The Difference
Uncategorized / 0 Comment / August 30, 2020

There is a difference.

I see it immediately. The “cut it out and paste it” scenario. It’s a quick inexpensive way to showcase a product and some are really good, others? Well, not so much lol. You can tell when some thought has been put into the final image. The cut-out is precise, the scale matches the surroundings and the rendition gives a good representation of what the equipment will look like in it’s natural environment.

I may be biased, but nothing beats the real thing in it’s real environment. #miningphotog.

On The Fly Faces Of Mining
Uncategorized / 0 Comment / August 18, 2020

I created a few dozen “on the fly” individual portraits while I was visiting sites for SSR Mining with www.pendaproductions.com. Just a few minutes to quickly coordinate a spot, calculate the composition / lighting and record a few captures. In the past I used to joke that the setup time took the longest and the actual picture taking lasted a fraction of a second. Five minutes of work for a memorable portrait for both the client and employee. These are the most rewarding images I create within the mining industry.

The Warm Glow Of The Gold Pour
Mine Photos / Mining / Photography / Uncategorized / 0 Comment / August 17, 2020

You can feel the heat on your face as it’s been poured, it’s quick and intense. The ambient light changes as the glow of the pour increases and within a few seconds it’s all over.
