A couple of months ago I had the opportunity to create images for HomeSafe ( a new safety program Vale recently launched in the Ontario Operations). It was amazing to see so many people come together to help create the final video and marketing materials for this one of kind safety program. Hats off to my buddy Ryan for some great cinematography and www.overtheatlantic.com and Conway Fraser www.frasertorosay.com for bringing it all together. Also, let’s not forget Amanda Brosseau for keeping us all inline throughout this whole experience. I enjoyed photographing each participant and spending time with each of their families. This video really hit home.

It’s Monday morning and even though the sun was out all weekend I still daydream of warmer weather. When I captured this image in Puerto Escondido Cuba it was a cool 32 degrees and about 80% humidity. I was thankful for auto focus because the sweat kept dripping into my eyes blurring my vision.
While on location in Cuba James Hodgins a Sudbury Photographer created images for an international Oil & Gas company to be used for their Annual Reports and Investor Relations materials
Another Atlas Copco Scoop Tram in the pit running through all the operational testing. This is a great opportunity to capture some extra images.

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.

Yesterday I was on location with Donald Bertrand of HALO CANADA to photograph the installation of Halo Led Lights (#halocanada) in the Norcat Facility here in Sudbury Ontario. The LED lighting increases illumination which makes the working area more safe, reduces energy costs, increases worker moral and is easy to install. I was very impressed with how much this product illuminated the area we were working in as you can see by the photos below. For more information on this product please email my friend Donald Bertrand – OCP Canadian distributor for Halo Lighting Solution don@ocp.ca

I enjoy photographing all aspects of the industrial industry. I sometimes describe my job to others as the “How It’s Made” TV show but with photography as over the years I have photographed many products from start to finish. It’s fascinating to see something created from a raw material to finished functioning product.
If your companies photography has not been updated in the past year, or you have new products, people, or facilities that need to be showcased I might be able to help.

I had a very “quick” opportunity to photograph inside a mill at a Northern Gold Mine this past week with some great Metso employees. Due to time constraints unforeseen we had a 30 minute window to capture some images but we made the best of it and came out with some great shots. Looking forward to working with Metso again, very professional!
“Been working in this business for almost 28 yrs and had never been involved with any kind of photo shoot. You were great to work with and made the experience quite enjoyable despite the time crunch we were in.”

When the mining site is in the middle of nowhere most maintenance problems are fixed right on site. Tires like this one are often repaired in minutes so the haul trucks can get back on the road and continue production. When the tires can no longer be safely used on the site, they are put to use in other manners. Some filled with sand and used as corner barriers on the road. Locals will also remove the remaining tread from tires and use the rubber for brake pads on their bikes or soles for their shoes.
