Two Supervisors watch as the construction of a new mine headframe in Ontario is carefully erected.
Another Ontario Mine Site image taken from the air. This mine has been re-instated and for the past few years has transformed itself into a state of the art, modern, working mine.

Core Shacks are relatively small, and sometimes it's hard to get a great shot while inside as using a wide angle lense can really distort the edges of the frame. Climbing on top of the core shack and photographing from the outside in is better perspective to show the core shack and the drill.

Safety is always the main focus during any job in the mining/industrial field. It's VERY important when photographing subject matter like this that all elements of safety are met. Here is an image from todays shoot. Steel cable is a MUST when suspended high above the ground.

More and more of my industrial clients are realzing that having an expensive camera will still not give them the high impact images that a Professional Photographer can create. The camera is pretty well the smallest peice of the pie. Lighting, composition, exposure, subject matter and even the personality of the photographer play some key roles in creating those knock out images. Another thing to consider is the time it takes to create the image. Most think that images like this are a "snapshot" away. I always get something like "Oh, here's Frank working on the flux capacitor, take a quick shot of him." I then have to explain about lighting setup and some quick planning.
After they see the finished image they then understand the difference between a "snapshot" and a "planned portrait".
"The snapshot"
"Planned Portrait"
(These take me roughly 15 minutes to knock out depending on the situation)
There is a reason why you should leave the photography to the professionals.
