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.

Photographed this Loader in Cuba where the temp  was 28 degrees. Aparrantly in Sudbury it’s going to get as high as 34 not including the humidity.  Photographing in various Countries has allowed me to compare the different types of manufacturers with heavy equipment.  This articulate loader from Palazzani Industrie, a company found in Northern Italy found it’s way just outside of Varadero, Cuba.

Sudbury Born James Hodgins is a Professional Mining Industrial Photographer with over 20 Years of photographic experience.

Last week I had the fortunate opportunity to work with some crew from Maclean Engineering in Timmins and Quebec photographing some older and new models of Maclean Equipment.  It was great to see equipment from 20+ years still on the job and also some new “very clean” machines that had just arrived on site.  The Maclean Crew were nothing but professional, considerate and helpful throughout the whole trip. Thanks again Maclean Engineering, it was a pleasure creating images for you.

Last day, last photo.  The GANG.

I had  a very “quick” opportunity to photograph inside a mill at a Northern Gold Mine this past week with some great Metso employees.  Due to time constraints unforeseen we had a 30 minute window to capture some images but we made the best of it and came out with some great shots.   Looking forward to working with Metso again, very professional!

“Been working in this business for almost 28 yrs and had never been involved with any kind of photo shoot.    You were great to work with and made the experience quite enjoyable despite the time crunch we were in.”

When the mining site is in the middle of nowhere most maintenance problems are fixed right on site.  Tires like this one are often repaired in minutes so the haul trucks can get back on the road and continue production.  When the tires can no longer be safely used on the site, they are put to use in other manners.  Some filled with sand and used as corner barriers on the road. Locals will also remove the remaining tread from tires and use the rubber for brake pads on their bikes or soles for their shoes.

I had the opportunity to capture images of the recent Mine Rescue Competition held in the Walden Arena Lively. This was a fast paced competition with limited lighting and challenging scenarios. Applied a few different techniques to capture images that had impact and also be used for review/archive. Congratulations to Vale East Mines Rescue Team who came out victorious.

I will be working on the hundreds of images I captured throughout the week.

I just love it when the kids get the giggles!!!
