The Daily Grind
I tried to place the camera a “little Bit” closer, but it was close enough.

When I ask “Would you like to have a picture with your equipment?”, I rarely get a “no thank you.”

Just Take The Picture
…….and I easily could. I could point the camera, press the shutter button and capture the image but honestly, anyone can do that.
Show me what you will be doing, where you will be standing, what you will be looking it and how and where you will be moving if you do. When I create images my subjects are doing what they would naturally be doing during their job. My goal is to freeze that moment in a capture but in order to do that, where and what they are doing is not always optimal for a photographic capture.
Lighting plays a pivotal role when creating storytelling photography whether it’s incorporating the light that is already available, injecting an external light source to the environment or combining both. I use light in a very specific way to create my images. I want my subjects to be well lit with highlights and shadows so you can see the curvatures of their faces. I want my subjects to be separated from the background so they are in the key focus area, and I want the image as a whole to be properly exposed. Then I look at how I want to compose the image and where I want the subjects to be “framed” . Once I have all this accomplished, I just let them do their thing and at that point, I press the shutter button.

A continuation from yesterdays post, once I got the pull back image of the Boltec, I came in for a closer look.

Make Way For The Boltec
This Boltec made it’s way below ground for it’s first official shift and I managed to create some memorable images for the site, operators and technicians that were on hand for this occasion. Stay tuned for more.

Capture Every Aspect Of The Process
From start to finish, every aspect of the manufacturing process can be captured professionally and creatively to help tell the story as a collective. When it comes to stocking/shipping/receiving images the goal is a clean crisp image that draws your attention to the operator & product. Each image only took a few minutes to create because of the coordination and game-plan the Epiroc team formulated for the series of images.
Created for Epiroc’s Reman Program.

Light Is Light
Photography /
0 Comment / October 5, 2021
Light is light. I have said this for years and my mentor said this years before that. It doesn’t matter what type of light we use, it all does the same thing in the end. The “mastery” of it comes from years of practice, playing, manipulating and controlling it. Intensity, direction and form are three qualities of light I “focus” on for every image. How much light to use, what direction do I want it to come from and how soft do I want it look on my subjects all depends on what I have to photography, where I have to photograph it, and how much time do I have to complete it.
