Happy Client, Happy Me.
“James,
I really appreciate the professionalism and hard work you put into capturing images for our company. I have worked with photographers in the past and have been told by many people in the mining industry that they have never received the quality and quantity of images you provided us with. Even with extreme temperatures, scheduling surprises and VERY long days you were always working to make the most out of our time in Cuba and Alberta.
My senior management was thrilled with the results and very impressed with how quickly the images were returned and in such smart packaging!
I have no hesitation in recommending you to current and future contacts knowing you will make every effort to capture what the client wants and needs. “
Sincerely,
Gretchen Gordon

Any chance I can create a nice “portrait” of someone I jump on it. Some hesitate when I ask and some are more than willing. I always ask if they have ever had a professional portrait of themselves while on the job and surprisingly the majority say no. I think everyone should have a great portrait of themselves at work. It’s a usually a big part of your life and it’s something you can show your loved ones what you do. You should be proud of your job/career. George Carlin said it best………”Hard work is working at a job you hate.”

Headlights & Moonlight
Sometimes using the lighting you have on hand and finding that unique angle where the light can come from the side is all you need to get the job done.

Heavey Haulauge Trucks
Around the clock another Cat Truck takes the paydirt from one area to the next to be processed. It’s hard to really gauge the size of the machines but just look at the cab size or the ladder in the front to get a better idea. Oh, they get much bigger than this.. MUCH BIGGER.

A Butt Buster In The Mining Industry
A few months ago I created some images for Nordex Explosives new Buttbuster (Perimeter Control) product and they are now live on their feature website (designed by Signature Group Of Companies) It’s always great to see how the images will be used in the final medium and that the in the end the client is happy. Note: I did not create the top image or movie.

Women In Mining
Today I had the chance to mix business with pleasure as I found myself on a shoot with my good friend Gen. She’s fresh into the industry so I figured she might as well start of right with a new portrait.

Faces Behind The Industry
I love the opportunities that I get when I can photograph the hard working individuals behind the scenes. It sometimes takes a bit of convincing that the portrait is not going to look like a quick snap with an iphone but something that he/she can show their family and friends. Talking to some of these individuals I learned that some have never had a picture taken of them at work. Why not show your spouse, your kids what you do? When I get a shot I’m happy with I gladly show them the image on the back of my camera and it’s great to see their smile on their face while getting a comment like “wow, that is nice!!! Thank you so much!”

An Atlas Copco representative goes over the head assembly with a diamond driller inside the coreshack. The new Excore head assembly is designed to reduce inventory with its ability to convert from a surface system to a pump-in system for drillers who work in both surface and underground operations.

Hardrock Drilling
A diamond driller changes out the bit to be replaced with a new one. Choosing the correct bit for the type of rock being drilled is key to optimum performance of the bit.
