Light Is Light
Photography / 0 Comment / October 5, 2021

Light is light. I have said this for years and my mentor said this years before that. It doesn’t matter what type of light we use, it all does the same thing in the end. The “mastery” of it comes from years of practice, playing, manipulating and controlling it. Intensity, direction and form are three qualities of light I “focus” on for every image. How much light to use, what direction do I want it to come from and how soft do I want it look on my subjects all depends on what I have to photography, where I have to photograph it, and how much time do I have to complete it.

Try, try again.
Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / 0 Comment / September 28, 2021

I have a saying. I think I first said it back in 2001 ~ “It’s not that I am smart, I just try things until I get it right.”

It took me a few different tries to capture everything in this image to tell the story. Changes in composition, subject placement and camera angle were made to create the final image.

Stand Out
Magazine / 0 Comment / September 16, 2021

I get contacted a lot from trade magazines inquiring about the images I create for my clients. More often than not it’s in regards to an article they are featuring but do not have a sufficient image to accompany the article. I ask each of them what their criteria is for a cover photo or feature photo and the majority all say, “something that stands out”. It’s the “PHOTO” that makes the cover. Each time your company has a write up in a trade magazine your company has a chance to be on the cover and it depends on the image that is provided. 

Online articles are another key resource to getting your company, equipment, service featured as a headline. If you know you are going to be featured make sure you are prepared to provide imagery that will stand out and get readers attention.

A Quality Product
Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Equipment / 0 Comment / September 8, 2021

I was recently asked how I get my images to look so good and consistent. Simple really. Consistency comes from practice, mistakes and constant modifications to achieve a better quality product.

Just like the manufacturer clients I photograph, they are constantly evolving their product to be a better version of the last.

This is a never ending scenario as we are constantly learning and adapting our craft/product to be better than the last. This can take years in the making but with that comes experience, confidence and consistency.

The mining industry has constantly advanced and changed it’s technology and mining manufacturers have been changing with them. Check out the latest article in Electric Autonomy featuring MacLean Engineering

From a whisper to a roar. What the mining industry needs to do to catch up to the electrification wave

Another favorite series of images I love to create is operations at night as the lighting unfolds after dusk.

Some Heavy Metal
Industrial / 0 Comment / August 27, 2021

I had the opportunity to tour the Algoma Steel facility (www.algoma.com) in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario creating images over the course of a few days. I was amazed with engineering of some of the heavy machinery used to manipulate Algoma’s products. The size and complexity of the facility has left me eager to come back again.

Some Core Captures

No matter what the task at hand is there is always a way to capture it besides the obvious and the core shack is a great place to change things up.

A throwback from a series of images I created years ago. A very similar image to this one was the first image used on my new website www.miningphotog.com , why? It’s an attention grabber, just like it is right here right now. #mininingphotog #professionalminingphotography

Anyone Can Do Simple
Uncategorized / 0 Comment / July 21, 2021

“Just grab a quick shot of them looking at the core.” is a common request I get while on site. In theory it’s a simple request, but in my head, there are a couple of calculations that are going on. Where is the light coming from, where where and how will they be standing, where is the best camera angle to utilize the environment as well as create definitive subject for the viewer to focus on.

It’s a simple shot, but I have never aimed for “simple”
