Mountain setting for Airbnb in the La Luz area of Albuquerque New Mexico
Hidden far up La Luz in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is this Airbnb nestled in a stunning mountain setting. I took my camera and drone through winding dirt roads to reach this Airbnb to make professional photos of it as the owner wants to stand out from all the competition in Albuquerque. I sent the drone up first to show the Airbnb listing’s proximity to the Sandia Mountains and hiking trails. Inside, I featured using a wide angle lens the open floor plan of the main level, and then the two upstairs bedrooms. Switching lenses I then made highlighting photos of the features in this Airbnb, like a crib for a baby, high chairs, and a cool bean bag chair for lounging around. My goal when photographing an Airbnb is showing others what I would want to see if I were considering this Airbnb listing using my 10+ years experience of staying in Airbnbs all over the U.S.
Creative and modern headshots for attorneys in Albuquerque
More and more attorneys are choosing Jason Collin Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico for their headshots because of my modern, professional style, and friendly and relaxed studio environment. Kate visited the JCP Home Studio for a series of attorney headshots with a couple of wardrobe and posing changes. As an attorney, she has a very busy schedule, and in less than a 30 minute headshot photo session, I was able to make these headshots for Kate. Thank you Kate for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Creative personal branding photos for marketing CEO in ABQ
Back out on assignment for an out of state trade magazine to make more commercial portraits and personal branding photos for an upcoming article they are writing about Del Esparza. I met Del at his downtown ABQ office which had this great brick wall, conference room, and open space to make enough photos right there. However, we finished the shoot with some high impact street portraits, one of my favorite kinds of photos to make. For all these photos I used my Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens that excels in both small spaces still creating shallow depth of field shots, and out in open space for more landscape portrait type shots with some out of focus background. Shooting on location like this allows me to create unique backgrounds for clients. Great job in front of the camera Del!
Colorful sleeping bags for product photography in Albuquerque
Tavis of Morrison Outdoors is one of my most long time clients since I moved the photo business to Albuquerque 6 years ago. He keeps coming up with new fantastic sleeping bags, which means I get more products to photograph here at the JCP Home Studio. This time it was 8 colorful sleeping bags for kids. What is unique about these sleeping bags, as you can see, is they are person shaped with arms and fold over cuffs. He has come out with adult sizes too (photos coming soon) so if you like the thought of being in a non-tubuler sleeping bag, the whole family can have matching sleeping bags! Thank you to Tavis for continuing to choose me as your product photographer!
Team headshots for lawyers in Albuquerque for the past 3+ years
Long time law firm client, Vrapi Weeks, has had a steady stream of new lawyer hires, and one partner wanted an update to her headshot I made for her a few weeks ago, so even shot individually, I am able to make team headshots for them! I have now made headshots for Vrapi Weeks going on three years, with a consistent style so each new team member’s headshot looks like the first one I made several years ago. I think it is fantastic that as soon as a new team member joins the firm, I get a call to schedule that person’s headshot, so their headshot looks just like all the others! Thank you to Amber and the rest of the team at Vrapi Weeks for continuing to choose me as your headshot photographer!
Professional Bottle Product Photography available in Albuquerque
I often learn new things about photography because of getting certain photo jobs. Such was the case with this shoot for Chuck, founder / inventor of Keto Cola. I had never photographed bottles before so it was an adapting, adjusting, and refining process to make these cola bottle photos. Once I got the setup fine tuned for the result Chuck liked, it was then a one right after the other process that I could consistently repeat. I got to use my Light Cone from V-Flat World and my new continuous LED lights. This combo, along with shooting tethered with live view allowed me to show Chuck what the final photo would look like without even pushing the shutter. The glowing yellow photo you see above is a composite image I made using three different bottle photos.
Flexibility in Making Commercial Portraits at New Mexico Cancer Center
Often times I do not know exactly what a shoot will be, even given a fairly significant shot list and description of what the client wants from the shoot. The reality on the day of in the actual location means adjusting and still getting results. Plus, I had never been in a cancer hospital before and did not know what the environments would be like. Still, in over a half dozen setups, I made commercial portraits for the client showing the entire range of the team of medical professionals there, plus some patients who consented to being in photos too! Most of the shots ended up being only two people in them, given the constraints of the spaces and the availability of staff. I even photographed a doctor again I had just weeks before photographed at an oncology conference! I enjoyed the challenge and creativity of making these commercial portraits at New Mexico Cancer Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
