Before and After Drone Video for Sunland Asphalt in Belen New Mexico
Back flying for Sunland Asphalt, this time in Belen, New Mexico, I made two visits to Vista del Rio for a “before and after” drone video showing the crew at work putting in the new asphalt, and then the after of the fully repaved community. These types of drone flights are always dynamic and I enjoy the challenge of capturing live action with the drone. Thank you to Jeff of Sunland for continuing to choose me as your drone pilot!
Client inspired bold modern headshot in Albuquerque
Listening to the client is very important in headshot photography as this type of photograph in particular, is absolutely all about the client. Dominic visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for his headshot session, and this angle and pose were his idea. It turned out to be my favorite shot of the shoot as well. I feel it is a bold, modern headshot that makes an impression! Thank you Dominic for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Going super vivid with a yellow background for headshots in ABQ
Long-time networking friend Paul has been referring several people to me for headshots, which I really appreciate! That is how Amelia came to visit the JCP Home Studio for her headshot session. After adjusting the lighting to make sure there was no glare in her glasses, we tried out several background colors before ending with an exciting vibrant yellow which was my favorite of the shoot. As expected, the more clients see the new vivid color backgrounds I now offer, the more they are choosing them for their own headshots! Thank you Paul for another referral and to Amelia being so great in front of the camera working with me to get the best results for no glare.
Books, a dog, and great light for personal branding photos for an author
Visiting the home of Rio Rancho, New Mexico based author Linda Kolsky for personal branding photos and a commercial portrait photo shoot was a great creative experience. Using different areas of Linda’s home, as well as props, and sure to steal the show, her dog Winston, we made a variety of different photos for her to use in promoting her upcoming book. The light in her living room was fantastic and I want to use it as a photo studio! Thank you to Linda for being open to my photo ideas and for having your own, and to Winston for sitting for some photos, and to Jessica for assisting on this shoot. It was a true team effort!
In my four years in Albuquerque I often heard about WESST, such that it became this kind of mythic entity. I did go to a pop up holiday fair in the parking lot and realized it was in fact a real place! Then Dave visited the JCP Home Studio and I met a real life WESST employee. Thank you Dave for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Creative Variety in Singer Headshots in Albuquerque New Mexico
Teen singer Sophia visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her parents for a series of creative headshots to help promote her singing career. In a short period of time, even with numerous outfit changes, we were able to create many different headshot looks for her to use for social media, marketing, and personal branding. Sophia did great in front of the camera for not being that experienced, and it was nice chatting with her parents while MUA Samanthia kept her makeup and hair photo ready (follow Samanthia on Instagram). It was a true team effort creating these headshots!
I headed down to Socorro, New Mexico to meet Scot for an editorial photoshoot for Pulse Magazine, which is the magazine for Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. As a nurse and alumni, he was being featured for being the first nurse anesthetist at Socorro General Hospital to live there locally in more than 40 years! I made several photos of Scot, but I should not have been suprised the one the magazine chose also had his dog, Lola, in it!
