A Sudbury Ontario Commercial Photographer

A great write-up  in the recent edition of Sudbury Mining Solutions on Macleans new Battery-Powered Scissor Bolter (CV3) that I photographed earlier last Month in Sudbury.

When traveling to other Countries to photograph mining industrial operations I always try to get out and about to talk & photograph the locals trying to capture a piece of their story in a single image.

Professionally created images can bring more attention to your marketing materials. Take a look at your images, ask others, look at your competitors and see if your images are in the same “league”.  If not, then it’s time to upgrade your media library.

As my previous post showcased how one company used their custom photography images across multiple platforms the same can be said for the Killarney Mountain Lodge.  Not only did they secure the web url www.killarney.com (I still cannot believe that this domain name was available) but they have created a very user friendly eye catching website that showcases their facility and services.  On top of that they promote their business via their Facebook Page, Twitter & Instagram.    They even showcase their custom photography with hardcopy marketing in the form of brochures and trade show booths.    One “block” of images can be used across multiple social media marketing platforms including TripAdvisor, Google Reviews, Newspaper and Tradeshows.

I am accepting Custom Creative Shoots starting in April (Indoors) and May (Outdoors). If interested drop me a line and lets discuss what Quality Images can do for your marketing materials.

Like with any “business” big or small your prospective clients HAVE TO SEE YOU.  If they do not know you exist then how can they possibly purchase your product, service or technique?  If you are a business owner and you are reading this blog post but don’t have your own website (with blog), Facebook page, Twitter or Linkedin account (to name a small few) then eventually you are going to walk the way of the dinosaurs.  You will fade………..extinct.  The younger generation are coming into positions of buying, managing and marketing and how do you think they find, research and review their prospective purchases?  Social media of all levels.  I deal with many types of business’s and have seen this many times where the “old school” business is running great but as time passes by their visual presence stays the same and eventually becomes outdated.

Maclean Engineering seems to be embracing social media and within the last year I have seen many changes to the companies online presence.  Now, I am biased because they do use a lot of the images I created for them but they are USING them on many different platforms from hardcopy marketing to social media.  Just a few days of shooting in different locations and they now have an arsenal of updated visually stimulating images of their products with their people that they can use for the next year or so posting daily.

They get it.  Are you?

The snow is melting in the Northern Climates and the first showing of dirt is making it’s visible return.    Soon comes the dusty sand gritted wind that you can easily find on the mine site.

This is an oldy but still one of my favorite images especially when I had a large metal print made from the image for display.  I captured this just as a few rocks slid down the front slop and created this HUGE dust cloud that eventually enveloped the cat.

Take a look at the images you are using to market your company.  Are they out of date?  Irrelevant? Low Quality? STOCK?  If you answered YES to any of these then your marketing materials are misrepresenting your company.

As the advancement in technology increases by the minute simulators are becoming more popular in the mining industrial industry.  Training is more efficient both in cost and time while safety is not an issue…………..unless you trip on the way out of the simulator.

Even though we had a language barrier and it took a few extra minutes of hand gesturing to explain I wanted to create a portrait of him,  the smile on his face after I showed him the image on the back of the camera needed no explanation.

Awhile back I had the opportunity to photograph Cambrian College’s  Lil’ Big Rig here in Sudbury, so on a early cloudy morning we “trucked” it out to Dynamic Earth where I could throw my spin on creating a Bad Ass Image that this machine deserves.

Most of my job sites are dull, grey, dirty and mundane but that all changes when the sun goes down and the lights click on.  The entire environment takes on a whole new look and sometimes it can be beautiful…………..at least to a mining industrial photographer.
