Personal Branding Photos for Lawyers build strong connections to clients
More and more lawyers in Albuquerque are choosing to have personal branding photo sessions to go beyond the stern headshots you see on billboards to better connect with clients. Such was the case with meeting B.W. in the now The Clyde Hotel (formerly the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque) in downtown Albuquerque for an extended series of personal branding photos. Using different lobbies, hallways, and seating areas, I was able to make B.W. a wide variety of shots in just about a one hour shoot, not taking up too much of his valuable time as a lawyer. Great job in front of the camera B.W. and thank you for choosing me as your personal branding photographer!
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!
KOB 4 local news here in Albuquerque is actually the station I watch so when someone named Ivan Cabrera texted me about headshots, I had to ask, are you the meteorologist? He was indeed! If you can believe it, Ivan was not the first local news meteorologist I photographed in downtown Albuquerque, that was Conner Lewis of KRQE back in 2020. Even though I was shooting in a similar place, Ivan’s headshots are totally unique. Using an intersection as the out of focus background, and even the Albuquerque Convention Center itself, I was able to create a variety of different headshots for Ivan all within about a 20 square foot area! Thank you Ivan for choosing me as your headshot photographer and see you at 6pm weekdays on KOB 4!
Creative Commercial Portraits Brick Wall Background in Albuquerque
Meeting client requests is what it means to be a professional commercial photographer in Albuquerque. Jason contacted me needing natural light portraits, with a brick wall background. So I began scouting locations in downtown Albuquerque that had a brick wall and would be in shade at midday to be able to shoot a natural light commercial portrait in. Having found the perfect location for the photoshoot, and done all the prep work ahead of time, and having 12 years experience as a pro, the shoot ended up taking less than 10 minutes of Jason’s time so he could get back quickly to his busy work day. That’s what it means to choose me as your commercial photographer. He also had his edited portraits delivered only 3 hours after the shoot!
Electric Car Photography with a Porsche Taycan in downtown ABQ
Julia was my very last client of 2020 visiting the JCP Home Studio for a business headshot. She recently contacted me again for a very different type of photography, car portraits for her stepdad, Mark. I always really appreciate when clients continue to choose me as their photographer. I went and scouted a location for the car photography shoot in downtown Albuquerque. Mark drove up in his Porsche Taycan Turbo in a stunning "frozen blue" color. This is Porsche's first fully electric vehicle to rival the likes of the Tesla Model S. It is no secret I wish I could be exclusively a car photographer, so I really enjoy the chances I do get to photograph a car like this, with Mark in many of the shots for creative car portraits too! Thank you Julia and Mark for choosing me as your car photographer!
