A Sudbury Cardiologist

I created a few images of Dr. Andreas Kumar at Health Sciences North in Sudbury recently.

Shared from Health Sciences North Foundation

HSN Cardiologist Dr. Andreas Kumar, along with his team, established the cardiac MRI service at HSN – an advanced new method for diagnosing heart disease.

Considered the gold standard for diagnosing many forms of heart disease, a cardiac MRI offers detailed images of the structure and function of the heart and is a non-invasive procedure that facilitates the analysis of the heart tissue. “Cardiac MRI means a more accurate diagnosis for patients, and therefore better treatment,” says Dr. Kumar. He calls the service “the gold standard for assessing heart function.”

Application Vs Art with Mining Photography

I was looking for an image to try some new graphic design work applications I have been thinking about for the past few months. A change in the application of how my mining images could be used in a companies marketing materials have me youtubing videos on photoshop techniques and such, techniques that I used to know years ago when I ran my full time wedding/portrait studio.

Some mining images are what they are. There is nothing special about them but the photographer has seen a “future” of that image that is not present at the time of capture. I look through the viewfinder with the same eye and mindset I had years ago when I was photographing images and thinking about photography competitions like WPPI And PPOC. The fundamentals of photography ingrained in my brain like rule of thirds, leading lines, storytelling and dramatic effect. You can “see” the potential within an image even though it’s not there visually, but you captured it knowing that all the elements are present and you just have to fine tune those individual elements to create the balance you initially envisioned.

Every once in awhile I will look through my image archives for a specific image and an unrelated image will strike the hotplate of imagination in my brain and I will lose myself within the editing process once again.

You can find beauty in all things.

Alamos Mulatos At Night

First night in Mulatos overlooking the crusher plant.

Recently Largo Resources www.largoresources.com commissioned me to visit their Maracás Menchen Mine located in Bahia State, Brazil to create their Photo Marketing Visuals and now that they have the images Largo has used them across multiple platforms to showcase the companies monthly achievements.

Social media is here to stay and has now become part of our personal and professional lives. It is one of the key components to marketing and branding and having great content is the main ingredient to that recipe.

Visual images attract more attention on social media platforms than text and the more impressive the image is, the more attention that post will get.

But it’s not just social media that need stunning visuals. Your website, brochures, presentations, trade show booths, financial reports, magazine editorials all require corresponding photography. Over the years in the industry I know that photography is something that get’s put on the back burner and doesn’t become a priority until it is needed by an outside source like a Magazine or Presentation and in the mad scramble to get a visual, the company resorts to whatever photos they have on hand. I know this because I read many of the industry magazines and of course I check out the photos used and I still see low resolution, blurry and grainy images being submitted for National and International editorials.

Wouldn’t you like to have an archive of professional images that you can select/send in minutes to be used throughout your companies marketing platforms? It’s one less thing to stress about and one more thing to be proud about!

Having a Professional Photo Archive on hand can save you time and money in the long run but how do you go about getting the images your company requires.
