Humidity In Honduras
Deep underground at the El Mochito Mine, the humidity hung in the air softening the lighting from the jumbo drill and our cap lamps which added some great backlit illumination to the overall scene

I was waiting patiently for them start emerging from the mine entrance so that I could capture some candid moments during the shift change. Some walk on past without lifting their heads. Some are already in a deep conversation with their coworkers reviewing the days activities and some take a moment to pause, look at the camera and give me a little something to capture.

The images I create are used all across the marketing spectrum for my clients and on each shoot I try to create a variety of different styled images to be used in their various marketing medias. Creative high impact images for their printed marketing materials, magazine covers and annual reports. Candid images for their social media feeds like facebook, twitter and instagram. Portraits for their company profiles, board of directors and management teams as well as equipment images to showcase the fleet, operations or processes. Having custom professional photography on hand in your companies media brings more attention to the message you are trying to convey to your prospective clients. The below image was created for www.ascendantresources.com at their El Mochito Zinc mine in Honduras and was recently featured on their August Corporate Presentation
There is always something going on when you are on site. The hustle and bustle of a mine is everywhere around you and it’s sort of like a small town city that is always moving. Everyone has their job to do and every job is an integral part of the operation no matter how big or small. I enjoy walking around the site capturing the daily activities as they unfold and I am constantly scanning the area for an interesting image capture like this image where miners are using the the rails to bring equipment and supplies in and out of the mine.
No matter what Country I am in or what type of mine it is (Gold, Zinc, Diamond, Silver, Copper ) I always come across the same product, an integral part of any miners personal possessions, the red thermos.
He took a quick break in the action so that I could create his portrait which was used recently for Ascendant’s social media and trade show booth. I’ll say it again, my favourite aspect of being a Mining Photographer is photographing the people in their working environment.
