At the end of a rural land photography shoot in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, I turned from the west after getting the required sunset shots to see the moon rising over the Sandia Mountains. I would come to learn that in a few days this would be a very rare full (blue) moon on Halloween night. To get unique views one must go to unique places, and not many go miles off road in the desert northwest of Rio Rancho wit a camera.
Read MoreKathy visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico wanting an updated modern headshot. We used several different background colors, but as many clients increasingly do, she chose both of her headshots on the bold look of the black background. Giving headshot clients options is what I strive for as they may think they wanted one background color, and until you see yourself on other colors, you may be surprised how much you like something you never even considered. Of course, all photo shoots here at Jason Collin Photography are using Covid-19 safe practices which I detail in this video. Thank you Kathy for choosing me as your headshot photographer and to her husband John for recommending me to her!
Read MoreAs the best and most prolific rural land real estate photographer in the state of New Mexico, I am constantly looking at weather reports for trying to get the best possible skies for client shoots. On a day like this in Taos, New Mexico, the clouds were absolutely dramatically stunning and the results were over 50 photos from around the Carson Estates area near Taos, New Mexico that delivered exactly what my client, Hemingway Land Company, wanted for grabbing the attention of land buying customers who will likely be buying sight unseen. I covered dozens of miles off road and hours of getting in and out of my Jeep from noon to sunset to create this collection of rural land real estate photographs that will help my client sell the land faster.
Read MoreMarshall of NE Heights Climbing visited the JCP Home Studio with a new line of beanie hats and a leather patch hat. He is starting this new company here in Albuquerque, New Mexico and wants to be able to sell his line of products on his own website (see above) and on Amazon. Using my ultra-high resolution Sony a7R IV mirrorless camera, professional off camera lighting, and advanced editing, I delivered modern product photos for Marshall that are Amazon ready. He was also a great help during the shoot with styling the hats and best of all, he let me have the blue beanie which I wore that same day when walking my dog! Thank you Marshall for choosing me as your Amazon product photographer, and I look forward to photographing all your future products. Check out the NE Heights Climbing website to get your own beanie for this winter and support a local ABQ business.
Read MoreOne of my best returning clients for nearly the entire time Jason Collin Photography has been in Albuquerque, is Deanna of The Southwest Life Group. Every time she gets a new real estate broker team member, she sends that person to the JCP Home Studio for a headshot and a head-to-toe headshot. Over the years her team has grown, and changed, but the headshots I make for her are consistent so that someone’s from 2 years ago looks like the one I made just 2 weeks ago. That is the service I offer my headshot clients, consistency and the best looking modern headshots in Albuquerque! Thank you Deanna for continuing to choose me as your headshot photographer and to Keith for being great in front of the camera.
Read MoreLong time readers of Jason Collin Photography might recognize that striking purple DV10 liquid nitrogen tank. That’s because almost exactly one year to the day I photographed it first for BioLife Solutions. They have updated the look and branding on their mod pak product and needed professional product photography of it to go with the other product photos I made for them last year. Producing consistent results even a year apart is a service I am proud to offer clients who continue to choose me as their photographer. This was another fun and challenging shoot for BioLife Solutions. Thank you for being a great client!
Read MoreAlbuquerque is not supposed to be a very snowy city. There are other places in New Mexico that do get their fair bit of snow, which might be surprising for a desert state, but even though ABQ is a mile high city, significant snow is rare, at least in my now going on 4 winters here. So getting over 6 inches of snow while still in October after it was just 81F two days earlier is quite the shock! I sent the drone up to document the snowfall in all forms —> hyperlapse video, 360 aerial panorama, and aerial still photos. I want to give unique views of commonly photographed events and things here at Jason Collin Photography.
