Creative ideas for actor portfolio shots in Albuquerque

Local Albuquerque actor O’Brien visited the JCP Home Studio for a series of portfolio shots and headshots. Working on a white seamless background in a Covid-19 safe shooting environment, I was able to make for O’Brien a wide variety of high impact photos to fill out his acting portfolio with, and a headshot that will catch the eye of casting directors. This was a really fun photo shoot with O’Brien being open to my ideas and bringing his own ideas as well. The result was a varied portfolio shoot with maximum creativity. Thank you O’Brien for choosing me as your photographer!

Covid-19 Safe Headshot Photoshoot of Actor in Albuquerque

Looking for a Covid-19 safe headshot shoot, Leslie visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the best headshots for actors in the city. We used three different background colors to create both serious and friendly actor headshots. Leslie said her nature is to be outgoing and friendly, so showing more serious expressions was not so natural to her. I helped her think of things to get the serious expression she wanted. Her agent loved the photos so we were able to get the expressions needed. Thank you Leslie for choosing me as your headshot photographer for your acting headshots.

Professional Headshot for Physical Therapist in Albuquerque New Mexico with Bettina

Listen to headshot clients, deliver great results!

Listening to what my clients want is something I like to think I do very well. So to read Bettina’s review of our headshot shoot was very satisfying to me as she said, “took the time to learn what my vision / goal was.” For her shoot, she wanted black and gray backgrounds, and I made sure that the position of her glasses relevant to the camera lens looked the best (i.e. no artifacting causing doubles nor any glare). Bettina was very good in front of the camera, so we were able to take a few shots, proof them together, then refine things exactly in the second round of headshots. Then to receive such a wonderful review made me happy knowing I was able to deliver great headshots for my client. Thank you again Bettina!

Amazing Family Group Portraits in Altura Park Albuquerque New Mexico

Studio like results for portraits in the park in Albuquerque

In addition to making candid portraits of Indu’s 1 year old son, I also made group portraits of her extended family at Altura Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The sun came out from behind the trees in a few of the shots just right to add an amazing visual element to the portraits. Since I use the same lighting I would in studio out on location, the results are spectacular portraits combining the best elements of outdoor and in studio photography. Thank you Indu for choosing me as your family’s photographer!

Candid 1 Year Old Baby Photography in Albuquerque New Mexico

August 27, 2020 in Portrait

Candid photography I believe is best for babies

As a top three rated commercial photographer in Albuquerque, I mostly have business clients. However, I do enjoy having lifestyle photoshoots when people contact me like Indu did to make photos of her son as he turns 1 year old. We met in Altura Park (a location I have been using more and more) to make candid photos of her son. Since a 1 year old does not really ever sit still, it is my photography philosophy that it is best to just let the baby do what he/she wants and let me make candids that capture the baby’s personality. Maybe the smile will not be perfect, maybe the baby will almost never once even look directly into the camera, but the photos 20 years from now I really believe will make the parents smile more than a posed photo attempting perfection.

Creative Commercial Portraits at Hotel Parq Central in Albuquerque

Creative and Covid-19 safe Commercial Portraits in ABQ

It often happens when I shoot at a great new location for the first time, like the Hotel Parq Central, other clients see those photos and want to use it as a location too! Such was the case for Marian, and since she was coming all the way from Ruidoso and needed a hotel to stay at anyway, it was very convenient for her to just take the elevator down right to our shooting location! The purpose of the shoot was to create commercial portraits that were not too corporate or like other traditional speaker photos, especially for speakers who speak about librarians. As you can see, not a single bookcase in any of these photos! In a relatively short time, I was able to make a large variety of photos for Marian thanks to her being open to my ideas, the well designed areas of the hotel, and the unique perspectives a 50mm f/1.4 lens creates. In fact, I never did a shoot this varied exclusively with a 50mm lens before.
