Commercial Real Estate Photography at Pavilions Apartments in Albuquerque

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.

Creative Commercial Portraits at Hotel Parq Central in Albuquerque

Creative and Covid-19 safe Commercial Portraits in ABQ

It often happens when I shoot at a great new location for the first time, like the Hotel Parq Central, other clients see those photos and want to use it as a location too! Such was the case for Marian, and since she was coming all the way from Ruidoso and needed a hotel to stay at anyway, it was very convenient for her to just take the elevator down right to our shooting location! The purpose of the shoot was to create commercial portraits that were not too corporate or like other traditional speaker photos, especially for speakers who speak about librarians. As you can see, not a single bookcase in any of these photos! In a relatively short time, I was able to make a large variety of photos for Marian thanks to her being open to my ideas, the well designed areas of the hotel, and the unique perspectives a 50mm f/1.4 lens creates. In fact, I never did a shoot this varied exclusively with a 50mm lens before.

Taos luxury real estate drone video

Any chance I get to go up to Taos, however brief, is welcome. One a recent afternoon, a client wanted me to make drone video and a 360 panorama aerial drone photo of his luxury home he was planning to sell, even before he had hired a real estate agent! He knew himself the value of drone video in selling a property like his, as he was hoping to attract an out of state and even out of country buyer. The drone video shows the whole property in context with the Taous mountains providing the background. Likewise, the 360 panorama drone aerial photo lets the viewer look around the property as they wish from the drone’s view. Thank you Gary for choosing me as your drone pilot and I hope your property sells quickly!

Luxury Residential Real Estate Interior Commercial Photography Ruidoso New Mexico

Luxury home photographed in flambient technique with 50mm too

Usually I am traveling for rural land real estate photography all over New Mexico, but this time it was for luxury residential real estate interior photography for a luxury home designed by Bailey Bishop of Bailey Bishop Design. This was a long postponed shoot that was first scheduled for March, but then the pandemic started and it took until now for things to be safe for Bailey to travel from California to meet me for the shoot. It was also my first time to finally get to see Ruidoso. I was immediately impressed with the design of the rooms and knew it would be a shoot I could really showcase the flambient style of real estate interior photography. Always wanting to deliver as much creativity for clients as possible, I did not just use the amazing flambient technique. I also took my camera off the tripod, put on my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens in order to make photos showing unique views of the rooms as well as detail shots of the numerous small touches Bailey put in her overall designs.

Covid-19 Safe at Nob Hill hair salon in Albuquerque

On my fourth shoot for Felicia of Amity A Hair Place in the Nob Hill area of Albuquerque, New Mexico, she wanted a photo of her wearing a mask showing how things are open in a Covid-19 safe way at her hair salon. I also took the opportunity to make a few quick interior photos of Amity in between her client appointments. Felicia is also my hair stylist in full disclosure. I like going to Amity because there are just two salon chairs there, it is a relaxed environment, and of course Felicia is great at cutting and styling hair and now she is doing it in a Covid-19 safe way!

Matching a company’s existing headshot style

Black Sage Tech already had consistent headshots for all its team members. So what to do when adding a new employee? They chose to contact me to match the style of the headshots they already had for their new local Albuquerque team member. Randy visited the JCP Home Studio and having received the link to the team page for how to match the headshot, I had everything ready for when Randy arrived for a Covid-19 safe headshot shoot so that he was in studio less than 10 minutes. It also helped that Randy was great in front of the camera!

Surgery Center Hospital Commercial Interior Photography Albuquerque New Mexico

Inside Surgery Center Photography in Albuquerque

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!
