The Miner | Mining Industrial Photographer James Hodgins
After creating some portrait and machine work underground last week I headed up to the mouth of the portal to finish off the session with a few more scoop images. While Ron (the scoop operator) was waiting for me to direct the next image I looked over to see him standing/leaning against his scoop where I quickly asked him to simply move a bit more forward so I could get a better composition with the scene. It’s a very simple image I will admit, but it works on a few different levels which makes it one of my favorites to date.
