An image I created for Rachel, a diesel mechanic at Vales Creighton Mine here in Sudbury Ontario.
My second favorite underground equipment to photograph is the Shotcrete Sprayer. Along the same lines as the Jumbo I think it has to do with all the different angles we can position the machine to create interesting images with leading lines and with different compositions. “It can be a messy job at times.” David laughed as I was photographing his portrait, “but I love it” he said.
A couple of months ago I had the opportunity to create images for HomeSafe ( a new safety program Vale recently launched in the Ontario Operations). It was amazing to see so many people come together to help create the final video and marketing materials for this one of kind safety program. Hats off to my buddy Ryan for some great cinematography and www.overtheatlantic.com and Conway Fraser www.frasertorosay.com for bringing it all together. Also, let’s not forget Amanda Brosseau for keeping us all inline throughout this whole experience. I enjoyed photographing each participant and spending time with each of their families. This video really hit home.
I invite you to watch it and see for yourselves. Click here and watch the first video on the page
