Running The Line
This 2 man crew stack hundreds of product every few minutes to be shipped around the globe. Like an assembly line in any product factory, the fast pace makes the workday go by fast……….so they say.

A Senior Environmental Analyst takes a water sample to determine the water chemistry.
After being processed through a centrifuge this material can now be sent back with the ore to extract the remaining metals.

Besides photographing and creating images underground, in the shops or out in the field I also get requests to photograph the corporate portraits for the companies as well. I try to encourage the company to get each of the portraits done at the same time to ensure that they have the same look and feel when displayed on their marketing materials. Over and over I see websites where the companies profiles are a mixture of places, backgrounds and even quality.

While I was photographing underground for Nordex Explosives (with Signature Group) I took the opportunity to create a quick portrait of Aaron in his work uniform.

The response from the miners and industrial workers about the images I created for them is amazing, some being underground for more than 10 years and have never had a picture of them at work.
It’s always nice to see images I have created being put to good use. This is a past issue of CIM Magazine that features one of my images on the cover.

Be sure to try and attend the 2014 CIM Convention this May in Vancouver.
Standing a few feet away the mine truck still towers over the driver. Morning exercises consist of climbing up into the cab of this giant machine.

Here is a recent image of the new Atlas Copco EMT50 (Electric Mine Truck) that is part of their new Green Line of products. The next round of photography will hopefully be underground to view this machine at it’s best.

Showcasing your staff can say a lot about your company. Not just to prospective buyers, but also to your employees. Showing your staff at work, in the shop, office or in the field shows that you take pride not only in your product but also your people. I am amazed at how many times I ask employees if they have ever had a image created of them doing their job……….most say never.

This pretty well sums it up I think. Please share this post to as many different people and sites as you can. Zero harm in 2014!
