Mining Photog Portrait
This portrait was more about the person in it than it was about what he was working on so I chose a closer crop to focus on the subject.

AC Roc D9 On Top Of Sudbury Road Construction
While I was paused in traffic along Big Nickle Mine Dr. this Atlas Copco Surface Drill caught my eye. The bright yellow of the drill was in stark contrast to the clouds and I knew it would make an interesting photograph.

Job-Site Portraiture
Just as I would in studio, when I create portraits on the job site I pay careful attention to the main fundamentals of good photography. Lighting, composition & exposure. However there is more to it than this, lens selection, aperture choice, background environment and white balance are key factors as well even when creating a portrait using simple ambient light.

How Big Is That Bucket?
There is no way to gauge the enormity of these machines without some comparison. By placing a person in front of the bucket the viewer can gauge the size of the hydraulic shovel.

Jumbo Drill Love.
Of all things I love photographing on the mine site the Jumbo drill takes the cake (until I get to photograph a bucket wheel excavator). For this image below I used a little back lighting to draw more attention to the operator than to the boom arms. This photo was created for Dumas at the Young Davidson Mine in Matachewan.
“James was an absolute pleasure to work with, he is affordable and very accommodating. The photography he produced was exactly what we were looking for, it was high quality and we received our pictures with a short turnaround time. We will definitely hire James again.”

Your project. Our expertise. Common ground.

A Breakdown Of My Logo
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.
On the left is my masterpiece I tried to create before seeking professional help (for the logo) and on the right the finished logo.

Employee Portraits
Sometimes I get hired by companies to create portraits of their employees doing their jobs. Most workers have never had a picture of them at work, or if they have, it’s a low quality snapshot taken by another employee. I have photographed employees that have been on the job for over 25 years and have never had their portrait created. When I explain to them that this will be different, professional, one that they can take home and show their spouse and kids and say this is what I DO, they get it. When I give them a quick “glance” at the back of my camera they quickly realize that this is special. It means something to them, and it means something that their company wanted this for them. These workers are proud of what they do.
Here is one portrait I created while on location for Ledcor. It was a pleasure to photograph their team as they were professional and courteous.

Back Seat Photographer
I seem to make it a habit to grab a few shots of haul trucks while in the passenger seat while driving around the mine site. I find it gives you a very realistic view of the truck in action.
