Humidity In Honduras
Deep underground at the El Mochito Mine, the humidity hung in the air softening the lighting from the jumbo drill and our cap lamps which added some great backlit illumination to the overall scene.

I get energized when I walk into a site and see images I have created over the years still being used in the companies personal marketing and branding materials.
Stock images usually don’t have the same look or feel that employees are familiar with and so the message of the poster can get lost or skipped without a second look or thought.
Personalized images have that immediate attention grabbing impression that holds the viewers interest so that your message gets noticed, read and reflected which is the main goal of any marketing material.
Note: Always go with the smiling image for the poster. 🙂

My clients like to get promotional photography created before the mining equipment is shipped and the majority of the time I have to photograph it in the industrial shop or outside in the yard. This isn’t an issue but it does take some time in front of the computer to complete but in the end they have some great images to be showcased in their marketing platforms.

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.

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.

Take Pride & Strive
I say that a lot, “take pride & strive”. What I mean by this is always take pride in what you are doing/creating professionally and strive to be the best you can be. I bring this attitude to every job I do, always trying to create the best I can with what I have to work with. It doesn’t matter what job you do, you can always be the best it if you choose. You can dig ditches for a living and I know there is someone that is an “expert” at digging ditches. Someone that takes pride in their job and has the process streamlined so that they are the most efficient, most productive ditch diggers in the World. When you take pride in your work and you strive to be the best at it you will be known for that work ethic as well as the quality of your product you are delivering. You can tell the difference between people that are just working for the paycheck and those that take pride and love what they do and for the most part the latter seem much happier with their jobs/careers/life. Will there be good days and bad days? Of course, but even when you have a bad at work or you feel that you could have done better those that know your professionalism will look at your overall track record in the industry.
Everyone of us can take a step back and ask ourselves “what can I do to be the best at this?” Sometimes the first step is asking this very question.

It’s Getting Hot In Here
It’s a quick in out for this image. Before I setup my lighting and start shooting I get a quick walk through of where my subject will be standing, what positions they will move into throughout the process and where I can get the most effective image while being safe. Be sure to check out Alamos Gold at booth #2722 at PDAC 2019

It’s Just A Haul Truck
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
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.
If you wish to see my other portraits in the mining industrial industry please check out my “People Portraits” page.
