Showcasing The Mining World
Mining / Mining Equipment / Mining Magazine / Photography / The People / 0 Comment / February 7, 2020

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.

Here Comes The Boom

Before this jumbo get’s in front of the face I had a few minutes to capture the front view. I like using the leading lines of the booms to draw your attention to the operator.

Balancing The Scale Of An Image
Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Equipment / Photography / 0 Comment / September 25, 2019

From afar mining equipment look smaller than they really are and it’s not until you get up close to them that you see the enormity of these machines. I always try to get some human interaction between the equipment and the environment so you can see the difference in size. Using smaller vehicles that everyone is familiar with like trucks and cars or placing an operator within the frame can easily give the viewer the reference needed to visualize the overall size of the heavy equipment.

Producing A Photography Portfolio For My Client
Industrial / Marketing / Mining / Mining Equipment / Mining Magazine / Photography / Shop People / 0 Comment / May 31, 2019

With just a couple of quick visits to the Pure Gold Mining Madsen Project I created a wide variety of images that they have used (and using) in their marketing materials as well as their social media platforms like Linkedin and Instagram. With such a wide variety of images (underground mining, core shack, exploration, environmental) they now have high impact images to accompany any editorial materials where a good photographic image is needed. It’s been great to see these images accompanying write ups on sites like Canadian Mining Journal, Northern Ontario Business, and The Drift.

I look forward to visiting their site again to create new images but with the abundance of custom images they already have it might be awhile lol.

Facing The Face
Mine Photos / Mining / Mining Equipment / Mining Magazine / The People / underground / 0 Comment / May 14, 2019

When I am faced with a tight working environment I need to strategically place my lights to illuminate the areas that are dark or in shadow like this image I created for www.puregoldmining.ca Madsen Project in Red Lake Ontario. Just like bright over exposed areas, dark empty spaces bring attention to the viewers eye and away from the subject so illuminating specific key areas to highlight subjects and leading lines is always my goal for standard operator images.

Manufacturing An Image For Epiroc
Industrial / Marketing / Mine Photos / Mining / Photography / Shop People / Sudbury Ontario / The People / 0 Comment / January 22, 2019

It takes a select few images to showcase quality on a website. We sometimes laugh while on location about how long it takes to setup lighting for a specific scenario but the actual “capture” of the scenario takes a minute or two. I sound like a broken record preaching about having high impact images to showcase your company and product as well as solidifying your branding in your industry.

I came across an image I created for www.epiroc.com that is now featured on their global website. It never get’s old seeing your clients showcase their work using your work.
