High Impact THC Product Photography on reflective black background in ABQ
After making a couple dozen photos of their THC products on a white background (see photos) here at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this new client wanted to try out a black background. At the time I only had a 1’ x 1’ black background, but I went to Port Plastics (highly recommended) in ABQ to have a 28” x 36” reflective black acrylic piece made that was big enough to get the shots the client wanted. Finding a way to get the results clients want, even if it requires custom studio pieces, is one of the benefits of choosing Jason Collin Photography! It was great working with Chazz again on these shots and I think the black background compliments the products very well. Thank you Chazz and the team for continuing to choose me as your product photographer!
Adapting on location to get professional product shots of cannabis in ABQ
You might be surprised how often I have no idea what type of photography situation I will be getting into upon arriving at a client’s location. That’s one of the things that makes a pro photographer a pro, is being able to get good results in any conditions, changing conditions, and challenging conditions. Such was the case with Ironfist Cannabis, where we started out shooting right where the cannabis plants themselves were growing, but had to pivot to trimming the tops off and using a studio background and off camera lighting setup to get the results you see here. This also taught me that I cannot again shoot indoors on location at such a place as the odor from the plants lingers to this day still in some of my photo gear! Thank you to Javier for helping with the shoot on site. This was also the first chance to use my new snoot to really focus the light only on part of the plants. You can see the simple but effective setup below in a BTS shot.
