Candid Commercial Portraits for the Engineering team at BHI ABQ
It was great to return to the Bohannan Huston campus for another two days of photography right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Three years ago I made dozens of headshots and a handful of candid commercial portraits. This time, more of the engineers at BHI wanted to get their own cool candid to feature when they go to conferences, events, and have an alternative to their headshot. Over the course of two mornings, I found a variety of backgrounds right outside their building such that two dozen people each got their own unique candid commercial portrait. Thank you to the tea at BHI for being so organized, and to the engineers for being so great in front of the camera, even outside on two warm summer mornings!
Fun and creative product shoot for tea in Albuquerque
My latest product shoot in the JCP Home Studio was with Alicia of Live Well Tea Company. She wanted her full product line of teas to be photographed in clear, clean, and also creative ways. Each collection of teas got a straight line shot, and a fun stacked shot too. Alicia was present for the entire shoot helping choose which order and placement for the teas for best color flow and visual appeal. I always welcome the client to be present for their product photo shoots, after all, they know their products best! Thank you Alicia for choosing me as your product photographer and for being so fun to work with during the shoot!
Consistent lawyer headshots over the years for Vapri Weeks
One of my longest term clients here in Albuquerque is the law firm of Vrapi Weeks (formerly Noble Law). I have made everything from headshots to interior photos to aerial drone photos for them at their various New Mexico locations. Anytime they get a new attorney, it is easy for them to visit me here at the JCP Home Studio and get the exact same style headshot as I have previously made for all the other attorneys at the firm. Such was the case when Aspyn visited for her headshot session. Everything was setup in advance for the framing that Vrapi Weeks likes for headshots, so it only took up 5 minutes of Aspyn’s time. That is one of the benefits Jason Collin Photography offers headshot clients, consistent results over many years of making headshots, and an efficient photo session that does not take up much time of a lawyer’s busy schedule. Thank you to everyone at Vrapi Weeks for continuing to choose me as your photographer!
ABQ realtors show your personal style in your modern headshot
More and more realtors, real estate brokers, and real estate agents in Albuquerque are choosing Jason Collin Photography for their headshots for my modern, clean style of headshot that shows them as the professionals they are. Sean visited the JCP Home Studio wanting to show off his personal style and look in his headshots requesting a waist up shot along with a more traditionally framed headshot (neckline up). I was happy to accommodate his request and make exactly the type of headshot he wanted. To stand out in the crowded real estate agent market, a modern, professional headshot that features your personailty is key. Sean now has his headshot to use to market himself and make that all important first impression with buyers and sellers. Thank you Sean for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Outdoor team headshots in Albuquerque for Zia Trust
Zia Trust had an established style for their team headshots using a space outside their building right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Things change outdoors though, including landscaping and of course light, so I was allowed some flexibility to choose a different background area for making headshots of the CEO, senior trust officer, and the trust administrator. I have a suspicion that when it comes time update the other team members photos, they will want to use the new style I established with these three headshots. Thank you to Nate and the Zia Trust team for organizing a smooth headshot shoot outside where there can definitely be variables. I do not always recommend outdoor on location headshot shoots, but with the right conditions, they can turn out unique and high impact like these did!
Powder Explosion for Stunning Product Shots in Albuquerque
Regular readers of this site might remember I recently did a tarot card product shoot for Darshanie of Lovely Om. As soon as I saw her tarot cards I knew they were the perfect subject to use to try out my first powder explosion product shot. I needed a couple things I did not have on hand to make this shot, including a Duo Board and the actual powder (check out the how-to video below for where and what products to get from Evan Naka). Once everything is setup with lighting, the powder, etc (see BTS shot below), getting the powder explosion shot itself is just a matter of putting enough powder on the board, and whacking the board hard enough to get enough explosion. It only took a few tries to get the results you see in this blog post. Thank you to Jessica for assisting on this shoot and doing the whacking!
It was great having Ava visit the JCP Home Studio here in Albuquerque, New Mexico for her teen actor headshot photo shoot. She had a number of different outfits and accessories, and we shot on several different background to create a wide variety of actor headshots for her in a just a 30 minute headshot session. Thank you Ava for being so great in front of the camera and for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
