I realize there have been no recent blog posts lately so I thought I would add a post just to catch some of you up to speed. Things have been busy, very busy with myself and PENDA Productions.

Lot’s of travel in the books to Mexico, Africa, Newfoundland, Northern Ontario and the United States these past few months and there is a lot more travel to come.  Our crew captured photography, Broll Video as well as interviews and drone work.  It’s been quite the PENDA Adventure these past few months.  Here are a few BTS from our recent adventures and I will be sure to post some finished results in the upcoming months. Be sure to follow our instagram accounts @miningphotog / @penda_productions.

Just as above as it is below.

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.

Now that’s a TIRE!

Mining tires are the unsung heroes of the mining world, supporting the weight of progress. From afar they are miniscule but up close, they are colossal.

When photographing in the crisp morning air one must hold their breath in anticipation for the perfect shot. Photographer problems lol.

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.

Faces Of Mining

My favorite part of the job…………creating portraits and telling stories.

Another portrait I created while in Alaska at the Donlin Gold LLC site with my PENDA Productions Inc. Team. Project Manager and geologist Michelle. I still chuckle to myself thinking back to this day as minutes after we were introduced we started to unload all our gear and she quickly grabbed one of my largest (and heaviest) cases and walked away with it like it was full of air. Later, after I was done photographing the portraits we hopped in her side by side (pictured here) and headed out into the tundra to capture some other employees in the field not far from site. When we arrived out our destination and me looking around noticing there was nothing here but trees, she nodded in front of us saying “we still need to walk a few hundred meters”. I immediately thought of all my gear I had on me and without missing a beat Michelle says, with a humorous smirk “would you like me to carry your gear for you?”. If I was drinking something at that moment I probably would have snorted it out of my nose lol 🤣. Of course I took her up on the offer and we trudged into the greenery. I’ll post those images at a later date. I’m still talking about this PENDA Adventure, lots of great people, scenery and of course photography.

If your not already following PENDA Productions Inc. please do so and be informed of other upcoming PENDA Adventures.

I captured this portrait of Brian the last time I was at the www.macleanengineering.com Collingwood Facility. Brian as been with the company for over 36 years, a milestone accomplishment nowadays. These are the portraits I love to create and showcase, the people behind the company, day to day always the professional.

The Night Shift
Mine Photos / Mining / Photography / 0 Comment / September 25, 2023

Capturing the night shift is a total 180 when it comes to the look and feel of an image. I love being outdoors at night at an active site where the only illumination is coming from the facilities and equipment. It’s a great opportunity to get creative with exposure and composition.
