A Sudbury Ontario Commercial Photographer

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.

Now that 2016 is in full swing in the mining industrial sectors it’s time to start thinking about this years marketing materials and online portfolio.  Trade show season is only a few months away and you don’t want to leave it until the last minute so you are scrambling for images for your presentations, trade show booths, investor reports and online updates.  A full day shoot can yield high quality “wow factor” images that can be used throughout the year without repeating the use of images.  I will work directly with your creative marketing team to formulate a shoot schedule and scenario list that would work best for your company.

James Hodgins from Sudbury Ontario is a professional Mining Industrial Commercial photographer with over 20 years experience.

Over the years of photographing the mining/industrial industry I have had numerous opportunities to meet some great people.  Sometimes our paths cross multiple times before I get to photograph them in their working environment which only makes the shoot that much more enjoyable.  I always try to ask A LOT of questions in regards to their job and what they do so I can come up with a concept for the shot. (this also depends on how the image will be used in the companies marketing material).   I enjoy learning about each profession and trade in the industry which in turn helps me with my future shoots.  I always appreciate the time they take to educate me about their job and what they do.

Last month I had the opportunity to visit Vale’s Port Colborne Nickel Refinery. Unfortunately I didn’t get to spend a lot of time photographing all the processes but I am looking forward to photographing the remainder sometime this year.

Here is another chance I had to photograph an industrial worker that has never had his portrait created while working. I hope he enjoys the photo as much as I had creating it.

Depending on the environment you see it in, the bucket from a dragline can look pretty small when you compare it to the beast it’s attached to, but when you get up close and personal with it (like doing repairs) you quickly realize it’s a giant among men.

While I was photographing some time laps images this transport driver pulled up in front of me. I couldn’t resist creating a portrait of his rig for him.

It’s been a great year working with everyone and I have enjoyed the images I have created for you throughout the past year. Looking forward to working with new and existing clients throughout 2015.
I have been waiting to post this image I  created last year and thought today would be the perfect time. Happy New Year Everyone.  James

The other side of the mining/industrial sectors I like to photograph is the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and Land Reclamation Projects. This is a side that most people do not think exists but I have photographed these projects for all of my major clients.
