Thank You
“Love the professional looks James gives photos! minimal staging, and only ever preforming tasks I would be expected too while regularly on the job, it’s more then a look for the camera, it’s about looking professional and qualified something I really appreciate to see in a world full of staged models with limited PPE advertising trades to young women!”

“James and his team were fantastic to work with. Beyond his evident skill with a camera, it is James’ ability to make his “models” feel comfortable and at ease that truly makes his work shine.
By taking the time to get to know his subjects, James is able to capture images that show a genuine, natural reflection of who the company is and what they are trying to accomplish. We gave James the challenge of working in a high-intensity, chaotic environment with drillers, core cutters, geologists, and technicians who had no experience with professional photography, but between his keen eye for storytelling, lighting, and framing and his talent with photoshop, we could not be happier with the way the images turned out.
Looking forward to working with you again in the future!“

“Manroc recently hired Mining Industrial Photography which is owned and operated by James Hodgins. James visited Manroc’s offices and shops in Manitouwadge Ontario. He also spent two days underground at Barrick’s Hemlo site to capture our Alimak and Lateral projects.
His performance was outstanding, all our employees enjoyed working with him and the pictures we received were above and beyond expectations. Manroc is very excited to release the pictures on our new website and job postings.
I would highly recommend hiring James for any of your photography needs as he is sure to provide excellent and unique results!”

“Hi James, Just wanted to send a quick thank you for the amazing job you did at our photo shoot. The attention to detail and images you captured are beyond our expectation!
We look forward to working with you again. James, writing a single sentence to capture our photo experience with you is as difficult as having to choose which images you provided us to use in in our promotional material!
It truly is as difficult to capture the right words to express the experience working with you.”

“I recently had photoshoot with James for a new campaign that Vale is launching and I initially felt super nervous getting in front of the camera but after meeting with James he was very personable and reassuring, and he made it really easy to be photographed by him. I don’t normally like getting my picture taken under any circumstance but James truly made it effortless and comfortable. I would say my overall experience was excellent and I would highly recommend him.
