Just as above as it is below.
Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / July 9, 2024

There is just as much action above ground as there is under it! From automated trucks and drones to advanced data analytics, technology is revolutionizing mining operations. There are many diverse roles behind these innovations, making mining more efficient and sustainable. Just as I approach the majority of my photography, I just let things happen and try to creatively light it and capture it as the story unfolds.

Leveling The Playing Field
Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / 0 Comment / October 16, 2023

Graders are the silent sculptors of the landscape. These mighty machines, equipped with a blade, precisely level and contour the earth, preparing the terrain for the next phase of operations. They ensure efficiency and safety, turning rugged landscapes into workable surfaces.

Knowledge Is Power
The People / underground / 0 Comment / June 9, 2023

It’s not about the size of the equipment, but rather the depth of knowledge within our minds. True power lies in expertise and experience, driving innovation and success.

Had another great photoshoot with Technica Mining recently creating new imagery for their website and marketing materials. As always, a pleasure working with Giah Sumalde and the Technica crew.

Value Your People
Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / May 24, 2022

I always love to see my images on the walls.

I have said it once and I will say it again, images are only good if they are used. Showcasing your companies people within your marketing will only enhance the story you are trying to tell. People take notice when it’s people they know.

An Operator Portrait
Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / February 9, 2022

When I ask someone if they would like their portrait taken and they quickly reply “YES, that would great!” I know I will get a capture they will love. I get a sense of accomplishment when I create a portrait that when you look at, you can see the confidence, accomplishment and sense of pride in the work they do. Love the work you do.

The Mine Geologist
Mining / The People / 0 Comment / January 10, 2022

The mining industry is full of interesting and diverse careers that can appeal to anyone. A mine geologist is tasked with identifying and assessing the location, quantity and quality of mineral deposits which can take you well below the surface of the earth.

Hard Rock Mining With Komatsu
Mining / Mining Equipment / 0 Comment / August 19, 2021

Recently photographed the Komatsu WX07 within the underground for Komatsu’s hard rock mining division. Among the few dozen images I created which included the overall unit, components and special features, having the unit moving material is always the perfect stand alone capture.

“What Is My Favorite Image?”
Industrial / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / July 19, 2021

I get asked this often and to be honest, I don’t have just one, I have hundreds. Some images are planned, some images are candid and some images are a one shot deal. The most satisfying captures happen when I pre-plan for a scenario that is a “one-shot”deal and everything falls into place exactly like I planned for.

This image below for example that I captured in 2019. A routine gold pour but since we were on a timeline it was a one shot deal. I could only place the camera in this position for safety reason and we had to remain just outside the gold pour. I knew that the pour would illuminate the room from one side with a beautiful orange glow but I needed to highlight the attendants as well to keep the focus on them as well as the pour.

For such a tight space and minimum time/lighting, I captured the image I planned for.

Get in, get it done, get it right.
