Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon Like an Autumn Mirror
This was my second time in the area of Klamath Falls for long time land real estate client Hemingway Land Company. This trip to photograph four land properties brought me to the Upper Klamath Lake area by the small town of Chiloquin. Right after I finished the 7.5 hour drive from Pacific Grove, California to Chiloquin, I checked into my hotel room, dropped off my bags, and headed right to the first property which was a stone’s throw from the lake. The client also wanted drone video and photos of the lake itself, so I went just a bit south of the property to Henzel Park where the sun was reflecting off the surface of the lake like a giant mirror. It was a stunning scene, that I had all to myself! If you can believe it, no one else was at this park seeing this incredible view. I am glad to share the drone video, drone photos, and still photos of this special sunset from this special place in Oregon.
Hampton Inn Hotel Salinas Commercial Real Estate Aerial Photography and Drone Video
I first went to the Hampton Inn Salinas to make commercial real estate interior photography back in March of this year. I returned this time to get all exterior content, including a drone marketing video, aerial photos, and twilight still photos all to promote the hotel and its location. I really like this kind of all encompassing photography and drone video job where I can make content of the entire property in my own style delivering for the client a complete visual representation of the hotel from inside all the way to 200 feet above the ground! Thank you to the team at the Hampton Inn Salinas for assisting me during both of these shoots.
10,000 square foot home drone video and photos for construction client marketing
New client Annigoni Construction has been building a 10,000 square foot house in Pebble Beach, California for the past 4 years! It is nearing completion so Nick asked me to come out and get drone video and aerial photos of the build in its current phase. I will return in about 6 months when the house is completed to make another drone video highlighting the finished property. In the meantime when a show piece glass staircase is being installed to the lower level, I will return with my still camera to capture that process too. Thank you Nick for choosing me as your drone pilot and photographer!
Drone Photography showing movie studio lot construction progress in ABQ
I always enjoy getting a call from Shyann of Cinelease Studios Albuquerque (formerly I-25 Studios) because I know that means it’s a chance to fly the drone on an active, working movie studio lot! Of course pretty much everything happens indoors and I am of course outdoors with the drone, but it still feels kind of cool. The drone photography work for the latest project is not Hollywood cinematic, but more practical showing the construction progress being made on the lot. In this series of photos, you can see what the area looked like in January, and now what it looks like 4 months later. Lots of progress is being made to update, modernize, and expand the studio property. Thank you Shyann for continuing to choose me as your drone pilot!
The peacefulness in photographing an apartment community in Albuquerque
I actually find photographing an apartment community one of the most relaxing types of photography I do. Why is that? Because most of the time I am given access to a space, then left alone to make the photos I need. Such was the case when I photographed Stride West in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The leasing office area and lobby was largely empty when I was there, the gym totally empty, same for the pool, and of course the model unit was just me and the furniture. In this way I made my way around the apartment community grounds (with a lift from the staff on a golf cart) getting the 75 photos I needed to per client guidelines. I did start out getting aerial drone photos because the skies were pretty good, and it is my policy to get all exterior shots when I arrive because you never know when the weather will change. Sure enough, by the end of the shoot things would have been too cloudy. Thank you to the team at Stride West for getting everything prepped for the photo shoot.
Many visits to Socorro County west of Belen in New Mexico
Socorro County New Mexico, near Belen in particular, is one of the areas I have visited the most in my 5+ years of photographing hundreds of rural land real estate properties. Then even more specifically, this area near the small airport west of Belen, high up on a plain bordered by mountains I return to multiple times each year. It is a peaceful area, and once you go south a bit, you feel like the entire desert is just yours. Walking this land with my two cameras is a peaceful photography work experience. The only noise comes when I send the drone up to get aerial photos of the entire 5 acres.
Airbnb Photography for amazing listing in Albuquerque New Mexico
Danny is a new Airbnb owner in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a unique property he wanted comprehensive professional photos of to show off its many details and features. The rooms were all extremely well decorated, and there is a large nearly cafeteria like dining hall for guests as a community eating space. The exterior grounds are extensive for taking a stroll or letting the kids play, as the drone photos show, and in the future he hopes to host weddings there and accommodate every guest in one location. I think that is a great idea! Thank you Danny for choosing me as your Airbnb listing photographer.
