Model Portfolio shoot in Albuquerque with a professional MUA
Leanna wanted a model portfolio photo shoot here in Albuquerque with a professional MUA present for the shoot. Well, this year I have formally partnered with Samanthia to work as a MUA and hair stylist for shoots right here in the JCP Home Studio. We made a wide variety of photos for Leanna from head to toe to headshot. In between shots Samanthia made sure Leanna’s hair was in place looking its best. That is the benefits of having a MUA for your model portfolio shoot. Thank you Leanna for choosing me as your photographer and to Samanthia for her great MUA work throughout the shoot!
Creative Variety in Singer Headshots in Albuquerque New Mexico
Teen singer Sophia visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her parents for a series of creative headshots to help promote her singing career. In a short period of time, even with numerous outfit changes, we were able to create many different headshot looks for her to use for social media, marketing, and personal branding. Sophia did great in front of the camera for not being that experienced, and it was nice chatting with her parents while MUA Samanthia kept her makeup and hair photo ready (follow Samanthia on Instagram). It was a true team effort creating these headshots!
Noble Law Firm contacted me about making professional headshots for all their lawyers across three cities in New Mexico. One of those cities was Las Cruces over 3 hours to the south of Albuquerque! They wanted consistency in the headshots so I told them yes, I can go to Las Cruces, then Santa Fe, and finally the office right here in Albuquerque. After the long drive south, the headshot shoot at the Las Cruces office was one of the most fun I have ever had, especially for headshots!
This is a second sneak preview of the 10 women I photographed at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the We Rise organization that will be featured in the One Of Many photography exhibition at the KD Neeley Gallery on October 05, 2018. I will be one of five photographers featured at the event which you can find out more info about at this Facebook event page. The photo above is my personal favorite from the shoot. I chose a tight crop to really focus in on the emotion in the eyes. Shooting with my new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro SP lens allowed me to focus very closely and get extreme detail. Be sure and mark your calendars for the evening of October 5th to come out and support this cause and see these images as large prints.
A very special photoshoot for We Rise & One Of Many
A recent Saturday was spent photographing ten women here at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for an upcoming social awareness fundraising event on October 5, 2018 at the KD Neeley Gallery. The organization is called We Rise and this particular photo shoot was for a photo exhibition called One Of Many. Find out more information on the Facebook event page. This is a sneak preview with one of the women from that day. Between now and the event I will be posting more sneak previews. The theme of the photo shoot was to focus tightly on the eyes, which were done by a make-up artist. I used my brand new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro SP lens to capture the emotion in the eye and the detail in the make-up along with a clamshell / beauty dish lighting setup.
Brandon called me up to talk about having headshots made for his budding acting career. I was very flattered to learn he would be coming all the way from Colorado and chose me out of all headshot photographers in Albuquerque! He wanted a proper, full-on headshot shoot with a MUA (makeup artist) present and multiple outfit changes. This is the kind of headshot shoot I will be doing more as I want to offer clients a high end experience like you get in New York or L.A. right here in Albuquerque.
