Show your business is Covid-19 Safe with professional photography in Albuquerque New Mexico
WIth many businesses opening back up during the Covid-19 pandemic, proper social distancing practices need to be implemented, and here at Jason Collin Photography I want to help Albuquerque businesses show their customers/clients/patients they are being safe. On my fourth shoot for San Mateo Inn, the owners wanted me to highlight their new curbside check-in process to show a safer way of staying at the hotel during Covid-19. I was really glad to make these photos for one of my best clients, to help them show how they are valuing the safety of their guests by offering curbside check-in. Going forward into the summer of 2020, this is one of my main focuses, to help businesses in Albuquerque promote their new Covid-19 safe business practices with professional photography they can use on social media and on their websites to show that they are in fact back open, and being safe with Covid-19.
Returning client Tavis, of Morrision Outdoors, brought his latest kids sleeping bags to the JCP Home Studio for professional product shots, that are featured on REI.com. This was my third shoot for him, and done in a safe, social distancing way in this time of Covid-19. He dropped off the sleeping bags in the studio with both of us wearing masks and 6 feet apart, and then left as I started the photo session with great help from Jessica as always who staged the sleeping bags. I show one of our secrets in a BTS photo below showing how to get volume in a sleeping bag by filing it with towels, paper towels, and even a canister of disinfectant wipes!
My goal as a headshot photographer in Albuquerque, New Mexico is to continue to make better and better headshots for my clients. I go about doing this in multiple ways, from investing in the absolute best camera available last year (Sony a7R IV) to new editing software, to improving my shooting and lighting skills. Here on my website Jason Collin Photography I really like to highlight that a modern, professional headshot really is the absolute best value in personal branding. Most clients/customers/patients will first see you online, which means the photo you use on your About Page, on LinkedIn, on Facebook is the first impression you make. There is no substitute for having a creative and up-to-date headshot to make the critical first impression.
Large product photography for Aristech on green screen
Returning client Aristech, located in Belen, New Mexico, this time needed professional product shots of a very large (7 feet tall!) item on a green screen. Regular readers of Jason Collin Photography may recall that last fall I made a wide variety of commercial photos at Aristech of the team producing this type of item. That was a very complicated shoot in terms of moving around the facility. This large product shoot was complicated in its own way due to the size of the item and its highly reflective surface. The overhead lighting could not be adjusted other than being turned completely off. After trying a couple of different lighting setups, I finally settled on one overhead light only on the time. You can check out the BTS shot below showing the entire green screen setup.
New Mexico State Senate Candidate on location photo shoot
I always really, really appreciate returning clients to Jason Collin Photography, and especially when the photos I make for them are as important as they are for New Mexico State Senate candidate Athena Christodoulou. Our first photo shoot was here at the JCP Home Studio for headshots. During this time of the coronavirus pandemic social distancing is a must, and for this on location shoot we were always more than 6 feet from each other and no one else was around. Jessica and I both wore masks during the entire shoot as well. It was a fun challenge to shoot in these conditions! Thank you fo Jessica for climbing a wall to get the diffuser in just the right place and to Athena for continuing to choose me as the photographer for her campaign.
Dessert Photography from all angles in Albuquerque
This series of food photography photos from Luca Italian Bistro in Albuquerque, New Mexico feature the sweeter side of the menu with a series of desserts (part 1, part 2). Thanks to the fantastic presentation of the desserts on their plates, it was easy to make delicious looking photos of these Italian specialties. From detailed macro shots, to table top presentations, I created for the client a variety of professional dessert photos to help them attract more customers. Here at Jason Collin Photography, the goal is to maximize the impact my photos make for clients to help them get more business. My photos make money for my clients!
Downtown Albuquerque all of a sudden has been an in demand location for my professional headshot photo services! Often when I debut a new photo style on Jason Collin Photography new clients see it and want it too. Such was the case for these lawyer headshots with Scott of Turner Law Firm. The advantage of shooting on location is that you get an absolutely unique background for your headshot. This is demonstrated by the fact just 15 minutes earlier, at the same two downtown ABQ locations, I photographed his partner, Joshua, with the same lighting setup, same intersections in the background, and you can see how different his headshots turned out.
