A Breakdown Of My Logo
Industrial / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / June 23, 2014

How many of you knew that my logo was created using 3 of my mining industrial images?  I wanted to incorporate some of my work into my brand but I obviously lacked the skills to create the artwork, so I hired  a professional graphic designer to complete my vision.  Here are the 3 images he merged into creating my logo.

Industrial / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / June 12, 2014

On my way back from Fairbank lake we flew over the old/new site of KGHM located near the old Victoria Mine site (42 minutes West of Sudbury Ontario).    Excavators and haul trucks are working around the clock clearing the site so that construction can start.  The estimated time for completion is 2019 and will employee up to 300 employees.

Out Of The Shop And Into The Pit
Industrial / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / June 10, 2014

This Atlas Copco  Scoop Tram 1520 had the run of the pit after being fully refurbished by the AC team.  After the team tested all functions of the scoop it was off to Dumas to be put back into action at the Young Davidson site in Matachewan.

On Site At Young Davidson

Sometimes people just walk into frame to complete the composition.  I captured this last month while photographing Ledcor Mining operations at the Young Davidson Mine in Matachewan Ontario.

This Sudbury Photographer Climbs To Cuba
Industrial / 0 Comment / May 14, 2014

While on assignment for www.sherritt.com I decided to climb to a higher vantage point to give me the angle I needed to capture this part of the power plant located in Puerto Escondido Cuba.  Clouds were rolling in with heat lightning in the distance which I wanted to capture but unfortunately it ended when I got to the top of the stack.

Their Lives Are On The Line While Doing Their Job!
Commercial / Industrial / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / May 13, 2014

Just like everyone who works underground for a living. Most of us may never know the meticulous procedures and techniques that are involved in a mine rescue.  Some may think that the team simply goes underground, finds the miners and brings them back up to surface. Well, it’s far far from that.  While I was photographing the Mine Rescue Competition I was blown away by the professionalism of the competing teams, the amount of preparation involved before they step on and off site and the constant communication between teammates, mine operations and those that needed rescue.  It was exhausting just trying to keep pace with them and shoot.    These individuals put their lives on the line every time they do their jobs and after this I am glad to know who they are and what they are capable of.  I do hope that I never need their services while photographing underground or above.

A Picture Is “NOT” Worth A Thousand Words
Crappy Vs Snappy / Industrial / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / April 2, 2014

It could however be worth THOUSANDS of dollars. When you are trying to showcase your product, process, or facility words can only go so far to paint the picture.   The more visual insight you can give your clients is never a bad thing but I do see a lot of mistakes when industry companies use photography to promote.  Mistakes like using amateur photos from cell phones or old outdated photographs.  Even using stock photography with people and products that have nothing to do with the company.

Your marketing material should be constantly updated and this includes the images used to promote your company.

Lighting, composition and adding employees can increase the impact of a photo.

Excore Drill Bits Are In Good Hands

I had the opportunity to photograph the new line of Atlas Copco Excore Drill bits while I was in Kirkland Lake.  The new Excore bit line is a combination of the best of decades of experience from previous diamond bit ranges and the latest in manufacturing and metallurgy techniques
