The image on the latest issue of CIM Magazine (https://magazine.cim.org/en/) features the Rokion R400 (www.rokion.com) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) manufactured by Prairie Machine (www.prairiemachine.com) that we photographed underground at Vale’s Creighton Mine just outside of Sudbury, Ontario.
Looking forward to creating new images for my clients but for the next little while I will be working from home and showcasing past images for your viewing pleasure lol. Here are some images I have created over the years for MacLean Engineering. A shoutout to Stuart Lister for trusting me with creating some equipment visuals. www.miningphotog.com
When collaborating with a new client we discuss the photography needs in regards to media, variety and application. If you contact me to discuss photography I will ask you what you images you have used in the past and we will discuss the different ideas to showcase your product in a way that is different than previous images.
My goal with all my images is to get people to view it, read it, click it and ask for more information about it. My goal is to create a variety of high impact usable images to be used on my clients website, marketing materials, trade show booths and their social media platforms as well as featured articles in trade magazines. Sometimes we have the time for elaborate setups and sometimes I am shooting on the fly but each time I present my clients with the best product I can create.
If you think your company is lacking on visuals I would love to talk to you. I will look at your content, your image library and I’ll be honest with you from the start if I think you already have great photography or if there is room for improvement.

This Caterpillar Haul truck was only stationary for a few minutes where I managed to capture this image and then get out of the way.
Most people will never see the true scale of innovation, technology, safety and sustainability the mining industry encompasses. I have been fortunate enough to create images that showcase the mining world above and below the earth as well as the people whose lives are dedicated to it’s success. There is so much of this industry I have yet to see and photograph as it is continuously evolving and this is what pushes me to get to the next level of creativity.
“I see you there walking around my personal space, chasing the equipment, people and light as it fades into my horizon. Many have come before you, many have succeeded in capturing my good side but many have also failed. Show me respect and walk safely within my domain and I will reward you with captured glimpses that will stay true to the end of time.” ~ The Open Pit
Back again, the Jumbo Drill, one of my favorite machines to photograph. This image was captured this past fall deep underground at Island Gold Mine just outside of Wawa Ontario Canada and was recently used displayed in Social Media. https://www.northernontariobusiness.com/industry-news/mining/wawa-area-mine-plans-for-expansion-2024459
The term “Visible Gold – VG” is used throughout the mining industry and on most occasions I am photographing the end product in a solid brick form or within core samples from the exploration drillers but recently I photographed some VG that just shined like the yellow brick road.
