Leveling The Playing Field
Graders are the silent sculptors of the landscape. These mighty machines, equipped with a blade, precisely level and contour the earth, preparing the terrain for the next phase of operations. They ensure efficiency and safety, turning rugged landscapes into workable surfaces.

Mining Photography In Canada
Meet our unsung heroes, the geologists! They are the scientific explorers who uncover the Earth’s riches and pave the way for successful mining operations. From analyzing rock formations to understanding mineral deposits, geologists play a crucial role in identifying valuable resources and ensuring sustainable mining practices. Throughout my travels in Ontario and across Canada I have photographed many Geologists in the field, always trying to change up the look and feel of the image according to the personality of the person I am photographing.

New Faces In Mining
Renate a Heavy Equipment Apprentice I recently photographed in the mechanics shop at the Lac des Iles Mine. When you chat with her, you can feel the passion and confidence she has for her job and the industry.

Painting With Light
Finding the right balance is key. Sometimes it’s about accentuating the soft glow of the cap lamp while other times it’s about strategically placing my lights to mimic the existing illumination. It’s a delicate dance between enhancing and preserving the atmosphere. It’s about crafting a visual narrative that draws the viewer into the moment, making them feel like they’re right there with us.

As We Wait.
Another one of my favorite underground images to capture . Sitting in the vehicle. There is always opportunity to capture/create this image as it presents itself multiple times throughout a shift. Sometimes I get lucky with the lighting, sometimes I create my own luck lol.

When A “PLAN” Comes Together
This image is simple enough to capture but it does take some finessing to get the lighting right, especially when you are using the cap lamps as a main light source. Direction and intensity of the cap lamps have to be tweaked to achieve the correct exposure while maintaining the realistic look of the underground environment. It’s even more difficult when they are chatting and moving while discussing the job at hand but watching the interaction for a few minutes, you can foresee the moment you want to capture.

Open pit, underground, in the shops, warehouses and in the field, the faces of mining span across so many different jobs, positions and environments.
