home photography studio
I find product photography to be one of the biggest technical challenges in the photography work I do in the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The latest product shoot was certainly a challenge, but one I really enjoyed as Tavis brought his newly designed very cold weather sleeping bags designed for kids. Check out Morrison Outdoors for how to buy these sleeping bags.

Professional Business Headshot made right in this client's home in Tanglewood St. Petersburg Florida - Nikon D300 Nikkor 80-200mm @ f/7.1 ISO 200 1/160th - Strobist: SB-800 & SB-600 in 43" brolly each
I went over to the nearby Tanglewood area of St. Petersburg, Florida to make a professional business headshot for a client right in his own home. My portable studio setup requires little space and sets up in just a few minutes. Even my collapsible background can simply be balanced against the edge of a couch as it was this time! The client wanted to change ties between shots and in that time there was a visitor to my portable photography studio setup . . . the family cat!
This cat snuck into my headshot setup between takes!
The client was actually sitting on that ottoman the cat is peering over. She was curious about the big 43" brolly just to frame right. I grabbed my camera and took a photo as quickly as I could not knowing how long the cat's curiousity would last.
This cat was a good stand-in until the client changed ties for his second shot!
Then the cat noticed me and I got the above shot with her looking right at me. For a few minutes, I got to feel what it must be like to work at Cat Fancy!

Professional headshot for Tampa Engineer - Nikon D300 Nikkor 80-200mm @ f/9 ISO 200 1/160th - Strobist: SB-800 in brolly & SB-600 in shoot through umbrellaEldest friend Terry called me up about coming for a visit to St. Petersburg, which is not unusual, but also about having a professional headshot made while he was here. It is always great to photograph people you know well as things are naturally more relaxed. So soon after he arrived, after Kiki calmed down, Terry put on his tie and dress shirt (photography secret, he was only wearing casual shorts underneath!) and I placed him in my home photography studio setup.
I have been making Terry laugh for decades, so when I needed some material to loosen him up and get his smile to be more natural, I had a plethora of topics to choose from. I was ready with the shutter to catch that first, most natural smile expression. After a quick background change (we started with my neutral gray collapsible background) and another joke, we were all done. The second headshot was shot in front of a white background so that I could then more easily cut Terry out of that image and place him on any color digital background. The gradient background used in the above image was added digitally in Photoshop.
After the headshot shoot it was off to the dog park to Kiki's delight!
