Maybe my last image of Vale Copper Carousel glowing with heat and production.

Even though we were in a back parking lot within an industrial park yesterday morning Mother Nature gave us a great sunrise to work with. With hues of orange and purples cresting the horizon the 4LD had it’s final session it was transported to it’s final destination.
A Geologist takes notes of the thousands of core samples stacked column after column at this Northern Ontario Mine Site. These Core samples are obtained by drilling into the rock using a core drill tipped with a Diamond Drill Bit. The core samples are then analysed to detect the properties of metals and alloys.

Here is an image from a few years back while I was on assignment photographing different trades across Ontario. If you own a small company with limited employees and you wish to grow your clientelle then showcasing your staff, product and fabrications to demographic is very important. Using custom images instead of “stock” photography can have your future clients connect with you by putting visuals to your business. Having a wide spread portfolio of images to use on social media is a must these days as the younger generation that are moving into the workforce are used to connecting on these different medias. Read why it’s always a better path to use custom images created for your company than stock images that are irrelevant or repetitive.
I know it’s the end of the year and photography is not high on the priority list in the Mining Industrial Industry right now so let me use this post to remind you of next month when things start kicking into high gear for the Spring season which is TRADE SHOW SEASON!! Look at your booth, look at your marketing (handout) materials. Is it time for an image upgrade? 1 shoot can yield enough custom images for your whole year of unique marketing materials. Make sure you have high quality impact images on hand that you can send or use at any time. Take a look at my “Showcase” page and see how other companies are utilizing their images for their marketing materials.

Flipping through a recent industry magazine and came across one of my images in use from my Kal Tire Shoot a few months ago. With this one shoot they can now create multiple unique ads for the next 1 to 2 years.

If you require custom professional photography for your business or industry contact me to discuss a shooting plan for your required marketing materials.

Regular inspections and maintenance are performed by Kal Tire specialists in the underground maintenance bay of the mine. I captured numerous images during this shoot for Kal Tire showcasing the different procedures to ensure the safety of their product. These images will be used for their marketing materials, website and publications.

While on location last week James Hodgins (Mining Industrial Photographer) took a few seconds to quickly capture this Selfie while no one was looking. When later asked “why” he took the image his reply was “To see how the Halo lights would illuminate the scene”. Sources close to him revealed that the Sudbury based photographer will use himself as the subject for his test shots but some skeptics think he takes these selfies so that he can post shameless plugs on his Mining Industrial Website. Either way, the lighting is flattering.

I captured this portrait of Tim while we were in between scenes during a film shoot where I was taking stills. The lighting I was using aloud me to handhold the camera and shoot at a very shallow Depth Of Field.

I finally had the chance to see some of the finished work with Joy Global in their latest print ad using images I created for them last year. Looking forward to creating more images for this company.
