A Sudbury Ontario Commercial Photographer

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.

I know it’s the end of the year and photography is not high on the priority list in the Mining Industrial Industry right now so let me use this post to remind you of next month when things start kicking into high gear for the Spring season which is TRADE SHOW SEASON!!  Look at your booth, look at your marketing (handout) materials.  Is it time for an image upgrade?  1 shoot can yield enough custom images for your whole year of unique marketing materials. Make sure you have high quality impact images on hand  that you can send or use at any time.  Take a look at my “Showcase” page and see how other companies are utilizing their images for their marketing materials.

Within this industry time is the one factor that always seems to be in short supply.  A lot of the time there is a very short window of opportunity to photograph the equipment before it is shipped off to the buyer, like this Joy Global LT 27o unit that I photographed this past Friday in the parking lot of the Sudbury Joy Global Facility.

We are now in September and the Summer months are behind us. As Fall approaches companies should start thinking about their Winter marketing materials and what images they will be using to showcase their products & services.  The white stuff covering the ground marks the end to warm Summer looking images so look ahead as there is still time to create unique images for your next Season of marketing materials.

I always like to capture the “lighting of the torch” scenario when I am on location shooting welding/cutting. All my lighting is setup and ready to go through the required shot list for my client but before we start I have them do one more “test shot”. The subject still thinks that we are getting set up for the shoot but really I just want this type of shot as natural as the subject can orchestrate it without any direction from me or the shoot coordinator.

If you require custom professional photography for your business or industry contact me to discuss a shooting plan for your required marketing materials.

When your company, product, service or employees get featured in industry magazines, online articles or corporate presentations why would you send  low quality images to accompany the article?  Don’t you want to show the best your company has to offer?  Pictures may not say a thousand word but they do give your clients that first impression.   One professional photography shoot can yield enough high impact images to cover your marketing materials for up to two years.  Pennies when you think about the long term gains you can get by standing out from your competition.  Take the below example for instance, same product, different quality.

I captured this image last week while underground in Quebec and at the time I had several ideas on how I would title this.  As I was getting ready to post it just now I really couldn’t add any text to it.  Adding text just might decrease the impact that this image has.  There are SO many stories behind this image but it is up to you to decide which one relates to you. So at this time I am leaving it unnamed. Enjoy.
