Sometimes people just walk into frame to complete the composition. I captured this last month while photographing Ledcor Mining operations at the Young Davidson Mine in Matachewan Ontario.

While on assignment for www.sherritt.com I decided to climb to a higher vantage point to give me the angle I needed to capture this part of the power plant located in Puerto Escondido Cuba. Clouds were rolling in with heat lightning in the distance which I wanted to capture but unfortunately it ended when I got to the top of the stack.

Getting ready to climb, safety first!

Just like everyone who works underground for a living. Most of us may never know the meticulous procedures and techniques that are involved in a mine rescue. Some may think that the team simply goes underground, finds the miners and brings them back up to surface. Well, it’s far far from that. While I was photographing the Mine Rescue Competition I was blown away by the professionalism of the competing teams, the amount of preparation involved before they step on and off site and the constant communication between teammates, mine operations and those that needed rescue. It was exhausting just trying to keep pace with them and shoot. These individuals put their lives on the line every time they do their jobs and after this I am glad to know who they are and what they are capable of. I do hope that I never need their services while photographing underground or above.

One last check over the spec sheets before fabrication begins to ensure maximum efficiency. Measure twice cut once.

It could however be worth THOUSANDS of dollars. When you are trying to showcase your product, process, or facility words can only go so far to paint the picture. The more visual insight you can give your clients is never a bad thing but I do see a lot of mistakes when industry companies use photography to promote. Mistakes like using amateur photos from cell phones or old outdated photographs. Even using stock photography with people and products that have nothing to do with the company.
Your marketing material should be constantly updated and this includes the images used to promote your company.
Lighting, composition and adding employees can increase the impact of a photo.

Update your photography for your website and marketing materials on a regular basis
