A great headshot shoot to end the year with in ABQ
My very last headshot client of 2020 was Julia who I was able to get a last minute time scheduled for so she could have her headshots before the start of the holidays. I am always very happy here at Jason Collin Photography to be able to accommodate clients’ busy schedules with just in time photo shoots. This was of course a Covid-19 safe headshot shoot here in the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Julia wanted the gray gradient background that is getting more and more popular with my headshot clients. It was a great last shoot to conclude 2020 with. Thank you Julia for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Convenient professional headshots for doctors in ABQ
Dr. Justin Beatty contacted me about making a new headshot for him on location conveniently right in the waiting room of his own practice, Chrysalis Psychiatry, here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jason Collin Photography specializes in producing studio quality results on location and transforming a doctor’s waiting room into a modern photo studio. With having headshots made right in your own office, as little as 5 minutes of your time is needed out of your busy work day schedule. Dr. Beatty was able to wait at his desk while the mobile studio was setup, came out for his headshot, and was back at work in just a few minutes. Thank you Dr. Beatty for choosing me as your headshot photographer and I look forward to returning to make interior photos of your office!
When light and sky and clouds come together for rural land photography
In the past 4 years I have photographed hundreds and hundreds of rural land real estate properties all over New Mexico. Every now and then the light and the sky make for an exceptional background to what in reality is just an empty piece of high desert. Such was the case for this property in Torrance County New Mexico, near Moriarty. The land had just one bush on it, and otherwise just foot high grass. However, thanks to an infinite sky filled with soft sunlight and painted with just the right amount of clouds, these rural land photos stand out. This does not happen by accident, as I waited over 2 weeks for just the right day for this client, even driving halfway out there (50 miles round trip!) only to turn around as it became too cloudy. This is the experience and professionalism I offer real estate clients. No one has photographed and flown over more rural land properties than I have. If you are interested in this land in particular, check out Hemingway Land for more info.
A two day shoot at PianoWerkes in Albuquerque, New Mexico produced so many great images, this is the second blog post from those shoots (see showroom interior photos here). Having never really seen under the top of a piano before, I was instantly amazed at the detail to be found in the design. It’s not just a bunch of piano wires, there are sound hole openings, wooden braces, and embossed branding. After I got the main shots the client wanted, mostly for my own purposes, I went around with a 50mm lens and at times still some off camera lighting to get creative shallow depth of field shots that show pianos like one does not usually see. the client ended up liking these photos and purchasing them too!
Willie returns to the JCP Home Studio for a 4th style of headshot
Willie has been one of my best clients in the past year and a half. He has come for now four headshot photo sessions! Three have been here at the JCP Home Studio, and one was out on location in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. This time Willie wanted a specific gray vertical gradient background. He sent me a sample photo and I was able to match that exactly in the Covid-19 safe studio shoot we had. I really appreciate returning clients. Nothing feels better as a professional photographer than when a client continues to choose you for their photography. Thank you Willie!
When Ike and his team visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a Covid-19 safe headshot shoot, I asked them do you want to remove your jackets? They said no, they are cool with them on. Here at Jason Collin Photography I always make photos exactly how the clients want, so it was for me the first time to make headshots of clients wearing their jackets! I really like the contrasting look of the casual jacket style with the formal gray gradient background. Thank you Ike for choosing me as your team’s headshot photographer!
Rio Rancho Real Estate Photography for Contemporary Luxury Home
Jim contacted me about real estate photography for his contemporary luxury home in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Photographing such a beautifully designed and decorated luxury home is a pleasure for me. The open concept living room and kitchen was an area I alone spent over an hour photographing! Photographing a luxury home like this I use the best interior photography technique of flambient when the shot suited it, and other times traditional off camera lighting shots. For the exterior photos I used a realistic HDR technique. Thank you Jim for choosing me as your real estate photographer for this amazing Rio Rancho luxury property!
