Let There Be More Light
Marketing / Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Equipment / Mining Magazine / Photography / 0 Comment / May 21, 2019

As I got walked closer to the next shooting location I could see the illumination of the area getting brighter and brighter and I thought to myself “This is beginning to look a lot like X-Glo, awesome!”

Not only can I incorporate the extra ambient light from the X-Glo strips into my images but more importantly I can walk around the area more safely and efficiently.

Here is a quick image before we brought the machines into place.

Creating a CNC Image for Cambrian College
Commercial / Industrial / Marketing / Photography / Shop People / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / May 15, 2019

Creating this image for the Cambrian College Trades program took a bit of time to setup but only a few seconds to capture. I wanted to show the movement of the hustle ‘n’ bustle of the shop as students were in and out of the frame but keep the focus on the CNC Machine and the operator. Strategic lighting throughout the shop and a slow shutter speed pulled it all together.

Also, take a look at my “International” Galleries to see a small example of the variety of images I create for my clients marketing & branding strategies.

Creating The Capture |International Mining Industrial Photographer
Commercial / Industrial / Marketing / Mining / Shop People / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / April 30, 2019

This image took 3 minutes to capture but I remember thinking about the scenario for a good 20+ minutes scratching my head to come up with something that would have “Visual Impact”. It’s always difficult when you are facing a wall for the capture. I try to get some depth into the image by accentuating the available light, but in this setting the only light at the moment was the overhead fluorescent lights. By simply turning on the diagnostic board and rotating through the different lights I used the main brake light to frame the subject and then brought in 2 other lights to fill in some shadowed areas. With the final crop being used in a diamond shape for their marketing materials we cut out stencil so we knew the image would fit the parameters, and it did – Cambrian College Heavy Equipment Technician

Breaking Records With Largo Resources
Industrial / Marketing / Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Magazine / Photography / 0 Comment / April 25, 2019

Largo Resources www.largoresources.com is mining the worlds best Vanadium at their Menchin Mine in Bahia State Brazil. I was lucky enough to view this operation in it’s entirety while I was there earlier this year creating custom images for Largo Resources marketing materials.

These images have also appeared in their social media platforms and recently showcased in a marketing brochure posted on The Mining Global Website. Written by Harry Menear and produced by Richard Deane the brochure covers up to date information on their record breaking year.

Having high impact custom created photography ties in well with the information that your company is providing to the public and the images I create make designing the layouts efficient with the variety of images I provide.

And Let There Be Light

“When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow.” 
― Ursula K. Le Guin

Creating shadows is one of my favorite pastimes while I am at work. This was a tricky image to create as I was very limited on where I could maneuver as well as providing extra illumination for the proper exposure. In the end I like how simple the image is as well as the storytelling.

Stopped In The Tracks To Smile
Mine Photos / Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / March 19, 2019

I was waiting patiently for them start emerging from the mine entrance so that I could capture some candid moments during the shift change. Some walk on past without lifting their heads. Some are already in a deep conversation with their coworkers reviewing the days activities and some take a moment to pause, look at the camera and give me a little something to capture.

It’s Just A Haul Truck
Mine Photos / Photography / 0 Comment / February 19, 2019

But it’s a sexy haul truck. At least that is how I look at it. I have photographed a wide variety of haul trucks over the years and yes they can all look the same but when they are in their environment they take on a different form. This all comes down to being at the right place at the right time. I didn’t just “see” this image, I waited for it to happen. I knew the route, I saw the lighting peak under the clouds and I positioned myself so that the sunlight cross lit the truck as it was making it’s turn.

Portrait of a Miner: The Mining Photographer
Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / February 18, 2019

I come from a well rounded background in photography. I learned lighting and camera skills early on from my Mentor Robert Provencher and had lots of photography googaw gadgets in my arsenal but I still get some of the most visual satisfaction from the simplest portraits I create, like this one.
