1950s Theme Portraits with Chevy Bel-Air in Big Sur

Kansas City couple photographed in Big Sur

Andrea contacted me over the summer inquiring about having a 1950s theme photo shoot including a classic Chevy Bel-Air car they were going to rent when the visited the area in October. I thought this sounded great and over the next few months we exchanged ideas for locations and the style of the shoot. She wanted it to be a free flowing and candid photo shoot, so no off camera lighting used, just my trusty Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens and the sunny skies of Big Sur. They were a very fun couple to photograph, making my job easy! Thank you Andrea for choosing me as your photographer and for sharing all your great ideas (that I will use for future clients) for candid portraits!

Creative personal branding photos for marketing CEO in ABQ

Back 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!

Downtown ABQ as a unique personal branding photo shoot location

I 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!

Indoor and outdoor in downtown ABQ personal branding photoshoot

The 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!
