Green is the color of success
Agriculture / Industrial / Marketing / Mine Photos / Mining / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / March 25, 2019

Spring is here (so they tell me) and Summer is right around the corner and soon our area will be covered with the color green again. Each year I get to photograph the reclamated areas and I am always impressed with the amount of growth obtained since my last visit. The smells are different, the colors are vibrant and even the sounds are multiplied as new insects and animals make their way into the newest habitat.

Digging In The Dirt
Mine Photos / Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / March 18, 2019

I come from a family of greenthumbs. My Grandfather tended a wonderful vegetable and flower garden throughout my childhood, my mother always has fresh greens to give away when I am visiting and my Sister created a gardening tool for the garden industry www.pinchpruner.com. So when I find myself in the greenhouses on the mine sites I always take the time to browse around, ask questions and see what the different types of plants and trees they growing for reclamation. I have photographed fish stocking, tree planting, vegetable harvesting, hay cutting and bee keeping all to regenerate, rejuvenate and reclamate past mine sites and some grand scales it’s mighty impressive.

It’s Only -24 Degrees Celsius
Commercial / Industrial / Marketing / 0 Comment / March 12, 2019

What could be worse than working outdoors in -24c temps? -34C of course. Living and working in Northern Ontario I go through all the weather spectrum’s throughout the year, from extreme cold to hot & humid (sometimes within the same week). I will be the first to say that I prefer hotter temps over colder weather but each have it’s pro’s and con’s when trying to create images on a tight timeline. Just like your PPE, proper clothing, hydration and food are all critical to a successful shoot, especially if the duration is 12 to 16 hrs.

Mulatos Mexico In The Evening

Once the sun dips down behind the horizon the mine site takes on a completely different look. I love capturing images at this time as it’s a great way to blend colors and lighting into the same environment. When we arrived on site the first day and drove past this location at night I new I wanted to come back and capture this image. Big thanks to Abdel Camacho for taking me around for a sunset drive. Stop by the Alamos Gold Booth #2722 at PDAC 2019

A Pure Gold Testimonial
Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / Testimonial / 0 Comment / February 28, 2019

Another one of my favorite trips this past year was to Red Lake Ontario to create a visual library for Pure Gold Mining at their Madsen Gold Project.

” James Hodgins did very professional work for the Madsen Gold Project photography when we hired him back in the Fall. I always tell him that they are worthy of a coffee table book on the interesting aspect of underground mining and equipment they use. We would gladly use him again for our project. “

Portrait of a Miner: The Mining Photographer
Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / February 18, 2019

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.

The Keeper Of The Kiln
Industrial / Marketing / Mining / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / February 14, 2019


This gentleman is what I call the “keeper of the Kiln” as he tends to the furnace while it rotates throughout the day at the Menchin Mine in Maracás Brazil. A few clicks and then we had to back away from the kiln as the hot air was blowing out the furnace door. Just a few of the many images I created for www.largoresources.com last week while I was on site.

Mining Photog In Mexico
Mine Photos / Mining / Photography / 0 Comment / February 10, 2019

Well I haven’t been able to post much to my blog lately as I have been on location in Mexico this week creating images from morning til night and I have had very little time to get on the laptop. At the moment I am waiting for my images to backup to my two hard drives so I figured I would share the last image I created tonight. This was a quick “thank you” portrait I created for Abdel for taking me around the site tonight to create some long exposure images of various installations on the site. I printed him a small print using my Canon Ivy Printer so he could take it home and show his family. I will have more images to showcase in the upcoming weeks and you can always check out my instagram @miningphotog for the latest behind the scenes.
