Client inspired bold modern headshot in Albuquerque
Listening to the client is very important in headshot photography as this type of photograph in particular, is absolutely all about the client. Dominic visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for his headshot session, and this angle and pose were his idea. It turned out to be my favorite shot of the shoot as well. I feel it is a bold, modern headshot that makes an impression! Thank you Dominic for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
More and more clients are visiting the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico wanting headshots for LinkedIn. That is what brought Eda, a medical professional, in for her headshot session. We worked with variations on a gray background and even though a similar looking pose to frame right, as I tell clients, headshot photography is a subtle art so just a slightly different pose and a small change in lighting result in two distinct headshots. Thank you Eda for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Modern Business headshots for the best Albuquerque Real Estate Brokers 2021
One of my very first photo shoots of 2021 was this headshot session for new Albuquerque real estate broker Alexa. She visited the JCP Home Studio for a Covid-19 safe headshot shoot where we covered a wide range of backgrounds and outfits. Starting out on a clean white background, and then moving on to both black and gray backgrounds, even with the same outfit, Alexa had many different looks to choose from. She was open to trying variations too, allowing me to experiment with different lighting setups. I was very happy that Alexa chose 10 headshots from our session! She will not run out of different headshots to use on her listing pages, business cards, and front yard signs anytime soon. Thank you Alexa for choosing me as your headshot photographer and for choosing so many photos.
This was the first of a series of photoshoots for Haltom Orthodontics that will have me traveling to Los Lunas and Grants next. Before sunrise this morning I was up loading up my portable photo studio gear as the only time all four doctors could be there was 7am! It takes a while to setup so I was there shortly after 6:30am. Everyone was plenty awake though for their headshots not surprisingly all having great smiles as well! After that was a team photo with all four orthodontists, then a father-son photo, which I did not know was the case until after the shoot. I look forward to the next photoshoot in Grants.
Alexandra contacted me about getting a series of headshots and portfolio shots for her modeling career. Other than needing 3/4 shots, a head to toe shot, and of course a headshot, we had full creative freedom in style and posing. I chose to share this selection of photos converted to various types of black & white. In my constant pursuit to provide better and better images for clients, I have switched to editing photos in Capture One Pro 12 for Sony, and also in this pursuit, I upgraded to the best camera on the market now, the Sony a7R IV mirrorless camera. Capture One has its own collection of black & white conversion presets which I used for all of these photos. In addition this was my first time editing in Luminar 4 using its advanced AI technology for retouching portraits. I thought the results of this AI based retouching were very natural looking and not overdone.
Back out visiting restaurants around Albuquerque, New Mexico for UberEats took me to local chain Pizza 9 for a professional food photography photoshoot using the natural light techniques required by the client. A good dark, contrasting table was available to shoot on by good window light as well. I setup my Sony a7R IV on my tripod with amazing new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens and proceeded to photograph pizza, calzones, and cheese crust bites! The food photo shoot was not the end of it for me, as I was allowed to take home the entire veggie pizza and cheese crust bites too! Thank you Pizza 9!
A third trip in 6 weeks to Valencia County, New Mexico where I met the enemy of the landscape photographer, i.e. a cloudless sky. However, these agave plants volunteered to be in the foreground of my photo to add some visual flair to what otherwise would have been a mediocre HDRsunset photo.
