In the past few months I have made several trips to rural Belen, New Mexico for rural land real estate photo shoots, but only photos. This time the client, Hemingway Land Company, also wanted drone video of this 5-acre property. This area does not have a lot of interest topographically, so the challenge was to fly cinematically over mostly desolate land. At the end I found an arroyo to fly over in one of my most complex flights yet. Then I finished with finding a few trees before the final sunset shot.
Are you still using a headshot from years ago? From over a decade ago? Yes, I have clients come to me getting their first new headshot sometimes in over 10 years! Photography has changed a lot since then, and a lot in just the past few years. Modern, creative lighting can now make for a whole new generation of headshot that is no longer the stuffy rectangle on a swirly gray background. If your headshot does not look as modern, as professional, as appealing as the one above, I would very much like to have a headshot session with you at the JCP Home Studio or right in your home or office so you show yourself to clients and customers as the modern professional you are!
Right on time to the weather forecast, snow began falling at 5pm on a Friday. By midnight it was a frozen landscape like I have never seen in Albuquerque, New Mexico before. There was not just snow cover, it was as if the trees and ground themselves had become snow leaving only dark ponds to contrast with all that white. I went out with my tripod to make these long exposure (5, 15, 30 second exposures) in black & white around my own apartment complex grounds.
Over the course of seven days staying in the Ocean Beach community in San Diego, California I went to visit the Ocean Beach Pier several times. It looked and felt different each time. I was there for a brilliant sunset. I was there as a storm approached. I was there when the pier was nearly completely empty, and when it was filled with people. I met a pelican. I walked it, and I rode a Bird (electric scooter) down it. I listened to the stories the ocean whispered as it passed under and around the pier.
Going from the west side to the east side of the Sandia Mountains brings a dramatic change in scenery, and lifestyle. Which would you prefer? The city sprawl of the westside or the wide open forests of the east side? Albuquerque is on the west side, and numerous small villages are on the east side. A rural land real estatedrone video assignment took me to the east side recently and I could not help but think just how much of a divide the mountains are. Living on 22 acres of forested land would be very peaceful. Driving over 30 minutes to go see a movie, not so convenient. I guess the ideal is to have both!
Get Modern Creative Headshots in Albuquerque anywhere!
Why not have a modern, creative headshot that represents your personality? Available anywhere in Albuquerque, my signature lighting style for headshots can be setup right in your office, home, or in this case, in between running a national conference! Sarah is with NACWA which was having their winter conference at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Albuquerque. In between photographing various conferenceevents, I made this headshot for her (and a few other NACWA staff too).
Large Commercial Properties Perfect for Drone Photography
Four months ago I got contacted by an out of state client about making self storage drone photos here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am happy to say that they liked my work so much, that when they had another property in ABQ come up that needed drone and still photos, I was sent out to make more sky and ground images for them!
