New Mexico Personal Branding Photography
As part of the Founders Series of personal branding photo shoots I did last year for CNM, I met Adam of Adwallet at Tincan Alley per his request to shoot there. I was a familiar with this location and its upstairs open air semi-covered space. Since his company is about making money from watching ads, he brought a cash prop for one of the photos. Thank you Adam for a fun shoot!
Read MoreBack out on assignment for an out of state trade magazine to make more commercial portraits and personal branding photos for an upcoming article they are writing about Del Esparza. I met Del at his downtown ABQ office which had this great brick wall, conference room, and open space to make enough photos right there. However, we finished the shoot with some high impact street portraits, one of my favorite kinds of photos to make. For all these photos I used my Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens that excels in both small spaces still creating shallow depth of field shots, and out in open space for more landscape portrait type shots with some out of focus background. Shooting on location like this allows me to create unique backgrounds for clients. Great job in front of the camera Del!
Read MoreMaking personal branding photos and interior photos in a fine art gallery is very cool, but also very nerve wracking as close to six figure priced sculptures sit upon, to me, very small pedestals! So when you have a 42” diameter round soft box you are moving around to photograph gallery owner Steve, it’s time to be extra, extra careful! However, as you can see, inside and out, Globe Fine Art Gallery is a bold visual statement. Steve had ideas for which artwork pieces to use in his personal branding photos, and then the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens did the rest! I really like shooting in an art gallery like this for unique backgrounds. Thank you Steve for being so great in front of the camera and helpful during the shoot!
Read MorePersonal branding photography is becoming more and more important across all business fields, and certainly no less important for interior designers. I visited Jamie of J Stoilis Design up in Santa Fe to make personal branding photos of her, as well as interior / exterior photos of her studio. Photographing Jamie in her own work space, along with the space itself, allowed me to create photos for her that are authentic. Clients even before visiting Santa Fe will know what to expect of her studio space, as well as a peak into Jamie’s personality. Thank you Jamie for a great shoot!
Read MoreI met T.J. outside his office building in downtown Albuquerque for a thank you personal branding photo shoot for choosing me as the photographer for a big multi-week long project photographing business founders. Downtown ABQ is one of my favorite places to shoot on location in the city, especially standing out in the middle of the street and letting the bokeh take care of the background. This type of photo makes for a unique background that I could never replicate for anyone else, as the light, shadows, and even street lights are always changing. Thank you to T.J. and Jen for choosing me for such an interesting and creative photo project!
Read MoreMore and more people are choosing Jason Collin Photography for professional personal branding photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I met Jason at FatPipe ABQ for a personal branding photo session showcasing the unique features of this co-working space both inside and out! In less than an hour shoot, we were able to shoot in no less than 9 different setups enabling me to deliver to Jason a series of edited images he can use on his website, social media, and advertising that feature his own style of. Thank you to FatPipe for use of the space and to Jason for choosing me as your photographer!
Read MoreThe last photoshoot for 2022 for the ongoing CNM founders project is with the person who invited me to be the photographer for the project herself, Jen Mulliniks. We met right outside her office building in downtown Albuquerque to start the shoot with some street shots. We then went inside and used, at Jen’s own suggestion, some of the buildings unique architectural features. I made the above photo by going half a staircase down, leaving a light hidden behind the wall to light up Jen in the circle. My semi-related inspiration was the cover of Carole King’s album, Tapestry. Thank you Jen for choosing me for this project and for a great photo shoot of your own!
