Jeff spent a week deep in the mountains of central Idaho. Battling temperature near zero and frozen cameras, he met and photographed employees for Thompson Creek Mine. The ad campaign features two side to the employees. The hardworking, get the job done side and then the more personal slice of life side. Even with the camera locking up at frigid temperature Jeff got some great images for the client.

Located in the rugged mountainous terrain of east-central Idaho at elevations ranging from 6,000 to 8,500 feet above sea level, Thompson Creek Mine is 35 miles southwest of
Challis in Idaho’s Custer County. It is situated on a combination of private and federal lands, partially within the Challis National Forest. Primary access to the mine is by improved county and private roads. The mine property covers 2,500 acres and includes an open pit, mill and tailings facility.

Thompson Creek Metals Company is one of the world’s top molybdenum producers.

Local author and client, Catherine Oaks released her first book today on Lulu. Catherine asked us to do her portrait that is the cover for her book. Here is a brief description from the online publisher that is distributing the book.

This book is about life and love. It is also about the courage to dare to live without boundaries and to learn how to bounce back no matter what happens to you. Through events the author lived and some analysis of societal and cultural trends, you will be exposed to new perspectives that will help you turn the negative events you are facing into positive outcomes. From dealing with the harsh realities of divorce to learning about hormonal challenges and living through bankruptcy and foreclosure, the author writes with a tint of humor that will leave you with a smile on your face.
