Sometimes in cramped spaces you have to get a little creative with illuminating the subjects. A steady hand and longer exposure sometimes works but having a “backpocket” light as I call it always helps. Small flashes, flashlights even my caplamp have been used in the creation process.

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.
If you wish to see my other portraits in the mining industrial industry please check out my “People Portraits” page.
Lighting at the end of this cut provides enough illumination to capture this underground miner.

This underground driller is actually listening to the core extraction device to make contact with the core sample.
