Headlights & Moonlight
Sometimes using the lighting you have on hand and finding that unique angle where the light can come from the side is all you need to get the job done.

Heavey Haulauge Trucks
Around the clock another Cat Truck takes the paydirt from one area to the next to be processed. It’s hard to really gauge the size of the machines but just look at the cab size or the ladder in the front to get a better idea. Oh, they get much bigger than this.. MUCH BIGGER.

A Butt Buster In The Mining Industry
A few months ago I created some images for Nordex Explosives new Buttbuster (Perimeter Control) product and they are now live on their feature website (designed by Signature Group Of Companies) It’s always great to see how the images will be used in the final medium and that the in the end the client is happy. Note: I did not create the top image or movie.

Women In Mining
Today I had the chance to mix business with pleasure as I found myself on a shoot with my good friend Gen. She’s fresh into the industry so I figured she might as well start of right with a new portrait.

Faces Behind The Industry
I love the opportunities that I get when I can photograph the hard working individuals behind the scenes. It sometimes takes a bit of convincing that the portrait is not going to look like a quick snap with an iphone but something that he/she can show their family and friends. Talking to some of these individuals I learned that some have never had a picture taken of them at work. Why not show your spouse, your kids what you do? When I get a shot I’m happy with I gladly show them the image on the back of my camera and it’s great to see their smile on their face while getting a comment like “wow, that is nice!!! Thank you so much!”

A diamond driller changes out the bit to be replaced with a new one. Choosing the correct bit for the type of rock being drilled is key to optimum performance of the bit.

The Professional Diamond Driller | Mine Photographer
On a recent photoshoot with Atlas Copco I was handed “The Professional Diamond Driller” handbook. It featured images I have created for them over the years. A lot of the times when I create custom mining photography for my clients I do not always see the end result in how the images are used so I am always a bit intrigued when I come across these publications.

Mine Technology In The Underground
A worker inspects the mine’s first blasthole stope while inserting pertinent information into his portable laptop. Quickly to be something of the past, pen and paper are now being replaced by modern technology…..even thousands of feet underground
