Team Headshots consistent through the years for WSP engineers
Long time client WSP added quite a few more engineering team members, so I returned to their office in Albuquerque, New Mexico with my mobile studio setup for another team headshot photo session. Going back to 2019 I have made the same consistent, professional headshots for all their team members in those three years (see 25 more headshots!). I have also done a lot of drone work for WSP too. Thank you to the team at WSP for continuing to choose me as your photographer and drone pilot!
Offering headshots as good as anywhere in the country right in Albuquerque
Scott’s company was actually going to fly him to Phoenix to get headshots because they thought he could not get good enough headshots right here in Albuquerque. Thankfully his contact person found me and Scott did not have to fly all the way to Phoenix just to get headshots! It is my goal to show individuals and businesses that outstanding modern headshots for business people and creatives are available in Albuquerque. Thank you to Saige at H.W. Kaufman for choosing me as your headshot photographer and to Scott for doing so well in front of the camera.
Many visits to Socorro County west of Belen in New Mexico
Socorro County New Mexico, near Belen in particular, is one of the areas I have visited the most in my 5+ years of photographing hundreds of rural land real estate properties. Then even more specifically, this area near the small airport west of Belen, high up on a plain bordered by mountains I return to multiple times each year. It is a peaceful area, and once you go south a bit, you feel like the entire desert is just yours. Walking this land with my two cameras is a peaceful photography work experience. The only noise comes when I send the drone up to get aerial photos of the entire 5 acres.
Making photos of horses and robots and people for CNM
All of October I am working on a project for CNM making photographs of founders of companies in and around Albuquerque. Some of these people I have already known for quite some time, like Paul of Equiseq. And I also tangentially knew Chris of Build With Robots from an open house years ago. I really like photo assignments like this where with a simple one light off camera setup, can go into a new environment and have free reign to create the photo I like of each person. Thank you to Jen and CNM for choosing me as the photographer for this project!
Making headshots for medical residency applications in Albuquerque
Evelyn visited the JCP Home Studio needing headshots for her medical residency application. During the shoot we followed the guidelines she was given. Evelyn did great in front of the camera and after editing I sent her the photos in the very low res size needed. The challenge started with getting them to upload despite being the exact specs! I went against logic and tried a few things, and those worked! Thank you Evelyn for choosing me as your headshot photographer and for the 5-star review! Good luck at your residency!
Can I make a drone video of a dentist jumping over his staff in New Mexico? Yes, I can!
I was contacted by a dentist in Gallup, New Mexico with a very unusual drone video and photography idea. He told me that he wanted to both jump his dirt bike over his dental staff and then drive the dirt bike through his practice! Dr. Porter had me curious for sure! After some discussion about what was feasible that I could do both in terms of drone video, regular video, and still photography, we had the details set and I was off to Gallup where I spent the night to be ready for the early 7am start in the morning. Despite many “never done that before” shots, the morning went off nearly flawlessly and I was able to make all the content Dr. Porter wanted. Thank you to Dr. Porter and his entire team for being so great in front of the camera and the drone, and below the dirt bike!!
I met the IWE team early in the morning of one of the last days of the 50th Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta to make team photos with the balloons as the background. As anyone who was in town the week of the 50th Balloon Fiesta knows, the weather was pretty terrible. So taking that into consideration, the fact that there was a mass ascension without rain was a win, even though skies were overcast. Despite that, I was still able to make the group photos IWE wanted and the balloons were not as far in the background as I expected either. With 25+ people in a group shot, it takes a bit of setting up in terms of lighting and then orientating everyone in the photo. Using a 3 light setup, which you can see in the BTS shot below, I was able to add some fill light and make the IWE team standout from the overcast skies. Thank you to Aime and everyone at IWE for getting up early, getting organized in front of the camera, and for choosing me as your photographer! Thanks also to Jessica for getting up early and assisting on this shoot making sure the 42” SoupBowl stayed in place.
