BMW car photography for Bring A Trailer in Albuquerque
Bring A Trailer contacted me about photographing a local client’s BMW Z4 M right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Being a passionate BMW M3 owner myself, I was extra excited for the opportunity to make great car auction photos of a BMW. I met the owner, Eric, at a location near the Tramway Station for the shoot. It was a real pleasure to get to know Eric over the course of the shoot. The Z4 M not surprisingly photographed very well with its timeless design and silver color. Thank you to Eric and Bring A Trailer for this car photography opportunity right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The best interior showroom photography in Albuquerque
Looking to let customers know you do not need to travel out of state to have a fantastic piano buying experience in Albuquerque, PianoWerkes contacted me about making professional interior photos of their large showroom featuring dozens of pianos. My new Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master lens was the absolute perfect lens for showing every possible inch of the showroom in amazing detail. The ceiling of the showroom was nearly as stunning as the pianos! It was great working with Neal and Anthony on this shoot making the exact type of showroom interior images they wanted to highlight their unparalleled selection of pianos. Thanks to Jessica too for assisting on the first part of this shoot.
Commercial real estate photography inside and out in ABQ
Typically when Smartshoot offers me a commercial photography job here in Albuquerque, New Mexico it is for a food photography shoot. However, this time the client was not a restaurant, but an apartment complex needing a few select interiors and exteriors photographed with updated photos for their website and marketing materials. For this shoot I made entirely HDR real estate photos for both the interior and exterior images. Photographing non-staged interiors is always a challenge, but I focused on the features each room did have to highlight each particular living space. The exteriors were easy since the grounds were very green and the buildings had interesting design.
Very early in the morning, before patients even arrived, I was at the SCA Surgical Center in the Presbyterian Hospital in central Albuquerque, New Mexico with my Sony a7R IV on a tripod making commercial interior photos of every area from the lobby right to the surgery room itself! I often say how my photography work for Jason Collin Photography takes me to places I would never normally see, and this surgery center is one of them. Being in an empty hospital setting so early in the morning (sunrise time) was definitely a unique experience fo me and circumstances to be making photos in. I enjoyed the views of the Sandia Mountains normally only reserved for recovering patients. Thank you to Kelli for helping me get in and out of the required scrubs, and for making the shoot go smoothly!
Composite photos for the best commercial photography
I was contacted by Planar two months ago to make professional commercial photos of their LED panel displays products they installed in a call center in Hobbs, New Mexico. However, Covid-19 soon shut everything down and it took until now for it to be safe to travel to Hobbs and finally make the photos. To make these images I knew the challenge would be how to capture the bright LED displays in a dimly lit space.
In this week’s photography tip video I discuss the thinking process I went through over 10 years ago in buying a tripod. The big takeaway: buy one good enough so that you’ll only ever have to buy one once in your career/life!
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.
