3rd Generation Miner
I photographed Vanessa (3rd generation miner) and her Scoop Tram 10 years ago next month. I have also been lucky enough to photograph her sister and dad who are both in the Mining Industry with Vale as well. This was before high visibility PPE was required at Vale at all times while on site in Ontario which changed from blue to high vis orange on July 1st 2016.

The leading lines created by the boom brings your eyes directly to the heart of the image as well as the heart of the equipment…………the operator. I think this is why I find the jumbo so appealing to photograph. The ambient light from the deck throws just enough illumination to light the booms without overpowering the surrounding environment where you might lose the line of sight due to the business of the whole scene.
Of course this is purely a photographers point of view but there is an essence of “art” within specific images created in the underground world.

Drilling Forward | Mining Industrial Photographer James Hodgins
If you have been following my posts for a few years now you know one of my favorite things to photograph is the Jumbo Drill, especially when it’s a make/model that I have not yet photographed like this Terex CS-8328 I came across while on location a few weeks ago. I think it’s because there are so many different combinations of scenarios you can setup with the Jumbo and watching the articulating arms dance around the face with a skilled operator at the controls can be impressive. Even though most Jumbos are equipped with numerous LED lights I always like to highlight a few key areas in the scene to draw your attention to other elements of the photo that tell a story. A quality image should be used to showcase a procedure, company, equipment, personnel or message all at the same time depending on the final marketing output and presentation the client chooses.
