A Sudbury Ontario Commercial Photographer

Inspection of your teeth is not just in the comfort of your own home.  Letting a tooth wear for too long on your bucket  will decrease your machines digging performance and may even lead to excess wear on the edge of the bucket.

I enjoy getting snailmail.  When I come home from shooting and I see something sticking out of the mailbox, a little bit of joyful glee comes over me when I realize it’s an industry magazine.  I take my time going through each page reading the articles and enjoying the photography of others in the industry but in the back of my head I am hoping to see one of my images being used every time I flip the page.  It’s not about me, but more about my clients. I enjoy the fact that they are using my images for what they were intended for in the proper marketing media.

Here are a few images that were recently in the latest issue of www.miningmagazine.com for writeups on 2 of my clients Joy Global and Dumas Mining

I had the honor of photographing the Sudbury Mine Rescue District Competition that took place at the Lively Arena back in 2014.

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.

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  Are they out of date?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.

The next big industry event is just around the corner with less than 6 weeks preparation time. PDAC 2016 is coming up fast and if you have not started making preparations for your marketing materials for this event you are going to be cutting it close.  Sit down with your marketing department (if you have one) and start discussing what changes you might need to make for this years trade show season.  Last summer I had the chance to work with Tracks & Wheels here in Sudbury, Ontario creating visuals for their new marketing materials spearheaded by Norman Studio‘s.  Both teams were excellent to work with.  Looking forward to seing more of their materials over the next year.

Mining photography is something that kind of caught me by surprise.  When I look back on  20+ years being in the photography industry, photographing, speaking, teaching I honestly didn’t think it would lead me deep into the Earth.  I take a lot of pride in my mining photography as I have done with all my previous clients and try exceed the expectations of many.  Mining photography is not easy.  Some may think it is, and it can be if all you are doing is pointing the camera and snapping off pictures but to create an image that can represent a product or company is a bit harder than it looks.  The one thing I have learned as a Mining Photographer in this industry is this…………you just roll with it.   People in the industry will know what I am talking about.

The used Reaming Shell is replaced with a new one just outside the Core Shack.  Minutes after this photo was taken the Reaming Shell was sent deep into the Earth’s Core.
