I really appreciate returning clients, and Giddens + Gatton Law are now two time returning clients no less! Plus, almost exactly one year to the day, I first visited their law firm in Albuquerque, New Mexico to make commercial portraits and headshots for them. Now that they have added a fourth attorney to their team, they wanted updated group photos featuring the new attorney as well as a few more groupings of the lawyers in general. We had the shoot in the lobby of the office building where their firm is located, just like before. Not wanting to simply repeat the shots I made for them previously, we used a different area of the lobby and I switched up lenses (and apertures) to create an entirely new look for these group photos for what I had done for them before.
Standout from other interns looking for jobs in Albuquerque
Networking friend Brian of Noventum Custom Software recommended that his intern Junchao get a professional headshot rather than just using his cell phone to take one. I am thankful for Brian’s referral and very glad that Junchao decided to make the best investment in personal branding by getting a modern, professional headshot. Look how he stands out on the team page and will stand out on LinkedIn and everywhere else he competes in a visual way with others for future jobs. Would your headshot compete with his if you are trying to catch the eye of a new employer? Think about it, would you decide to first contact someone representing themselves in a professional, modern way, or someone who made a minimal effort?
I have already posted about what a huge coincidence it was to in just a 4 day span to photograph two entire office teams in the same corporate park in Albuquerque, New Mexico and also making a group shot too! Statistical anomalies like that fascinate me. This shoot was for accounting firm Loftis & Lovato Group who have already integrated all their great new headshots and their group shot into their website. Now when clients visit their site they will see that everyone, all 9 team members, are in a visual way part of the same team. No mismatched headshots, no outdoor snapshots, instead consistent, modern professional business headshots for everyone. Thank you Alex for choosing me as your photographer, and thank you to Jessica for assisting on this shoot!
High resolution jewelry product photography in Albuquerque
I am happy to work with new client, JoAnna, on her growing line of jewelry and wearables. She brought over some creative jewelry for me to make professional product photographs of at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I offered her a test shoot at no charge giving us a chance to work together to get the final image results of her jewelry just as she wanted. This will allow her for future shoots to just be able to drop off the jewelry as I know what results she wants, as I strive to provide maximum convenience for clients and their busy schedules. This was a fun and challenging shoot from both a physical (see BTS shot) and technical standpoint, and then again in editing. I look forward to the next shoot with JoAnna! Thank you for choosing me as your product photographer! And thank you also to Jessica for assisting on this shoot.
New gray background whole staff headshots in ABQ times 2
Tell me te odds of this: just 4 days apart I have two headshot shoots in Albuquerque for entire office teams, that also want a team group shot, and are in the exact same office park! Such was the case in going to Keystone International to make headshots of Grace and Michelle who I first met when they presented at 1 Million Cups. They both also wanted to use my brand new Westcott X-drop gray background. How’s that for a coincidence? I really like when a business contacts me to make headshots of the entire staff because I believe strongly that consistent looking professional headshots on the website about page makes a very strong impact on clients & customers. This shows that everyone is on the same team, and an equally valued member of that team.
Product photography in Albuquerque good enough for REI
Returning client Tavis visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico with two new sleeping bag products. He first visited in August of last year with sleeping bags for small kids, and now has some of his unique sleeping bags for bigger kids. He is continuing to expand the Morrison Outdoors line of products, and I am glad he continues to choose me as his product photographer. I used my own BTS shot from the first shoot to help me get setup faster for this second shoot with the added wrinkle that these sleeping bags were longer and I had to get up higher and shoot a little wider to fit them in frame. Thank you Tavis for continuing to choose me as your product photographer and to Jessica for assisting on this shoot!
Variety in creative food photography in Albuquerque
This is part two in a series of professional food photos I made for Luca Italian Bistro in Albuquerque, New Mexico (see part 1). The variety of dishes presented to me allowed me to make a variety of different food photographs, from feature shots, to hero shots, to macro detail shots. Using a very simple lighting setup of one light and a reflector still gave me the flexibility to take any kind of shot I wanted to all in a very small space, making minimum impact on the daily operation of the restaurant. This is the photography experience I deliver for clients, not just receiving the best commercial photos in Albuquerque, but also as a minimal impact during the photo shoot.
