The best headshots for Insurance Agents in Albuquerque New Mexico with Justin

Fast and Covid-19 safe headshots for insurance agents in Albuquerque

State Farm Agent Justin visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a Covid-19 Safe headshot shoot. As an insurance agent, he was looking for a modern, professional headshot. We first used a white background for a most modern, clean look. Then we switched to a gray background for a totally different look, even though I still used the same lighting setup as on the white background. Now Justin in just a quick 8-minute photo session, has two very different headshots to use as needed to make the impression he was with his insurance clients. Thank you Justin for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

White Sands Minimal Fine Art Photography New Mexico True

White Sands Minimal Fine Art Photography New Mexico True

Minimalism in blue and white

After two years I had the opportunity to return, briefly, to White Sands National Monument. It was not at an ideal time of day for photography, but I had a new powerful tool with me this time, the incredible Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master lens. For this photo series I really wanted to focus on the minimalism of White Sands when photographed up close. The patterns in the sand dunes fascinate me. They are mesmerizing. Then there is the stark contrast between the white sand and almost electric blue, cloudless sky above.

Farm Dreamscape in New Mexico Fine Art Photography

12mm farmland dreams

Taking my new Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master lens out on its first shoot recently, on my way to the actual shoot location, I saw this farm irrigation system. It was a good chance to check out just what 12mm can capture in a dreamscape setting with the setting sun and dramatic clouds above. The emptiness of the land to me lets me dream of what grew here earlier in the season, and what has grown on it in decades past. What do you see in your dreams in looking at these landscapes?

Headshots for Actors in Albuquerque New Mexico with Leslie

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.

Blue River Ranch Luxury Arizona Real Estate Photography Drone Video

3 Days Photographing Blue River Ranch in Arizona

At the end of August I had a unique opportunity to photograph and fly over a unique luxury ranch property only about 1.5 miles as the crow flies beyond the New Mexico border in a small, small town call Blue River, Arizona. This shoot was unique because I actually stayed on the property in the guest cabin, so I could easily shoot at all hours of the day capturing a luxury real estate property like I never was able to do before. The owner, Miriam, was a gracious host and very helpful even in assisting with some aspects of the shoot. If you want acres of land, your very own pond, and privacy, this might just be the place for you! Miriam has created a fantastic website highlighting everything about this property featuring the photos and drone content I made over the course of 3 days on site. Thank you Miriam for choosing me as your photographer and drone pilot, it was a great shoot and a wonderful time on the ranch.

Clouds like coral over the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico

Having been to remote northwest Rio Rancho, New Mexico at least a hundred times over the past 3+ years for rural land real estate photography, I have made hundreds and hundreds of photos of the Sandia Mountains using a 70-200mm lens, with this shot being made by the amazing Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master lens. One might not think a telephoto lens is good for landscape photography, but if what you want to photograph is very far away, it will just get lost in a wide angle lens. On this particular afternoon, the clouds above the mountains rivaled the mountains themselves for drama. To me they look like undersea coral? What do you think?
