The Buzzing Sound While Mining | Mining Photography Canada
Mining / 0 Comment / March 8, 2021

By now we are all familiar with the buzzing sound of drones as they fly above our heads outdoors or deep underground in the drifts. I see more and more drone’s being used in the mining industry and I must say the technology that accompanies the skilled aviationist’s is impressive and fascinating. Watching Matt Mackinnon founder of Unmanned Aerial Services Inc skillfully maneuver his drone through some complex areas and watching his screen where the Emesent software displayed the 3d model in real time was a first for me and I couldn’t take my eyes away.

This was the first time I photographed a drone underground and it was a challenging and exciting opportunity.

Capturing A Sandvik | Mining Photographer Canada
Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / 0 Comment / March 3, 2021

The red & white color scheme is easily identifiable with the Sandvik name and I had the opportunity to create a few images of this Sandvik titan while I was on site at Barrick’s Hemlo Mine.

After driving around in the Relay from www.millertechnology.com this looked like a great spot to capture a few more images before we finished for the day . #miningphotog #relay #millertechnology

The Hemlo Hour | Mining Industrial Photographer
Uncategorized / 0 Comment / December 21, 2020

The Hemlo Hour

I have driven past this site dozens of times in my travels and always thought this would be a great capture. Last month I had the opportunity make it happen.

It was the last morning on site and the sky was clear for the first time in days. It was still an hour before sunrise and a thin layer of ice formed on the water below reflecting the lights and color tones throughout the view. It did not disappoint.

Open Pit Morning | Mining Photographer
Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / 0 Comment / November 9, 2020

Open pit morning. The sun was starting to break through the morning clouds as the wind pushed them across the site. After a few minutes of watching the trucks come and go the sun broke through again just in time for me to capture it.

Up Close With Impact!|Mining Photography
Magazine / Mine Photos / Mining / 0 Comment / October 26, 2020

One of my favorite images from the RockMass Technologies shoot we did last month balancing the underground environment and technology. Lighting, composition, focal length and depth of field are all in play. You just can’t snapshot an image like this and have the same visual impact.

The Timing Of Two Tales
Photography / 0 Comment / October 19, 2020

These 2 images were taken minutes apart while on site in Mexico.

I try to create images that are not “staged” but in my professional experience there has to be some amount of planning for a creative image to be successful. When I “stage” a scenario I am not placing the person in a position they normally would not be in during the process of their job but simply freezing the action/motion that they have placed themselves in during the process of their task…..did you follow that? LOL. In other words, I have them go through the steps of their job and I will see a moment in their process that I think is a good capture……and that is what I then proceed to do at the best of my ability with the elements presented to me at the time.

Throughout the day I will try to capture as many different elements of the site surroundings that I can and while some images take mere seconds to capture others are more complex.

Have Camera Will Smile
Mine Photos / Mining / The People / 0 Comment / October 1, 2020

It’s the smiles. Whenever I travel to a country where I don’t speak the language a camera in hand can easily overcome the barrier. Photography in itself is a universal language and holding up the camera, smiling and motioning towards the person, they immediately know your intention. We created some great personal portraits throughout Cuba during this shoot and hopefully some day I can get back to create some new experiences.

Diamond In The Rough
Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / 0 Comment / September 17, 2020

Some of my first mining shoots where within the exploration field specifically Diamond Drilling and Atlas Copco. It was (and still is) challenging to create unique images in such a small space especially if the rig is still operating.

What About Your “Snapshots”?
The People / 0 Comment / September 16, 2020

Yup, I do take “snapshots” when I am working. . When I am doing a creative shoot I am always scanning my surroundings to see what is going on and if anything could be a possible “candid” moment, just like B roll with video. These images are on the fly available light and are great for social media and annual reports. I really do mean it when I say I try to capture everyone and everything.

Some turn out and some don’t but I always say:

“You never know until you try, and if you fail you are no worse off than before you tried.”
