Top Three Commercial Photographer in Albuquerque for 2020
Thank you to Three Best Rated for choosing me for the third year in a row as a top three rated commercial photographer in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They make their choices based on 50 different criteria. In the past year I have worked hard to improve my website for clarity and presentation. Additionally, I made a major upgrade in all of my equipment in September 2019 replacing every single camera, lens, and drone I owned! I made the transition to Sony mirrorless cameras, the best in the photography world.
The best headshots for any and all professions in Albuquerque
My goal here at Jason Collin Photography is to make the very best modern, business headshots in Albuquerque, New Mexico for any profession. Rochelle, an engineer, visited the JCP Home Studio for a new headshot for her membership in SWE ( Society of Women Engineers). I was provided with a full description of what she needed in a headshot, which was the one we made first. Then I had informed her a second headshot is included in the session so she had an outfit change ready for her own personal choice of headshot which you see above. Thank you Rochelle for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
An ultimate wedding and meeting story up on a mountain
I met Davis and Veronica last summer, as I was drafted onto their summer league ultimate frisbee team. I saw them again at other frisbee events, and since I took photos at some of those, they knew I was a professional photographer. So when they got engaged earlier this year, I was very flattered they wanted me to be their wedding photographer! Their own story of how they met started with ultimate frisbee too!
Like many, many people, I got a bike during the pandemic because there are no more team sports, so to get exercise out of the house, a road bike is a great way to see scenery and burn calories. I have actually been on bikes of different kinds all my life, starting with getting second place in the New England BMW Championships in 1982, to cycling 100km in Japan and camping in 2007. The torn ACL I suffered in 2015 put an end I thought to my time on a bike as I could not even get my knee to bend enough to pedal. I sold my bike and gave away all my gear. However, after a while, my knee did get better and I could run and jump again, and as you can see from these photos, ride a bike again! It is also my nature that when i do something, I do it all the way (within reason). So where in April I was doing relatively flat rides of 25 miles, just 3 months later that tuns into riding my bike to the highest peak in the area, Sandia Crest!
Covid-19 safe on location headshot shoot for a future teacher
If you have been waiting for a new headshot because of Covid-19, here at Jason Collin PhotographyCovid-19 safe headshot shoots are available both here at the JCP Home Studio, and right at your own location. I visited Zoe right in her own home, bringing my full studio setup (see BTS photo below) to make the best headshots for teachers available in Albuquerque. I even photographed her on three different background colors, that is the flexibility my on location headshots shoots offer clients. Plus, they are Covid-19 safe as I shoot with a mask on the entire time and maintain social distancing during the entire shoot.
In my car photography career, I have had the opportunity to photograph a lot of expensive cars, including a Rolls-Royce Wraith over $350k (and even drive it too!). However, the Duesenberg Model X photographed in Albuquerque, New Mexico is above and beyond any other car in terms of both value and rarity. This Duesenberg model is just one of five still in existence in the world! Who owns one of those other examples? No less than Jay Leno! The owner of this Model X is selling to to replace it with a Duesenberg Model J. He hired me to make photographs to help sell it for the highest price possible, as well as make drone video of the car in motion on Tramway Blvd.
Pizza is one of my favorite foods to photograph, and not just because I usually get to take some how with me after a food photography shoot in Albuquerque! It’s one of my favorites because of the number of options of how to photograph it, from all inclusive hero shots like the one above, to cropped detail shots like the one below. On assignment for Grubhub again, I had a fun and tasty photoshoot at Pizza Blaze in the Uptown area of ABQ.
