Going for style with business headshots in Albuquerque
Elizabeth contacted me about new headshots for her and her co-worker, Mark, of jgms. They requested a tan background, and thanks to the new colorful background options I offer for headshots, I was glad to be able to accommodate their request. I now think they have the two best looking headshots on the jgms team page if I do say so myself! Business headshots can be creative and stylish too. Thank you Mark and Elizabeth for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Getting fun candids of a professional organizer and friend in ABQ
This was my second commercial portrait photo shoot (check out the first shoot) with long time networking friend, Miriam, of More Than Organized. She is a certified professional organizer and a Money Breakthrough Business Coach. She is also a very fun person and I tried to keep up with her during the shoot capturing all the great candid action! We started out with getting some before and after shots of her organizing files and such, then had some flying $100 bill business coach shots, before finishing with organized time candids in her office. It’s always different when you are photographing someone you know, it’s more relaxed, and when that someone is Miriam it’s also a lot of laughs! Thank you Miriam for continuing to choose me as your photographer! Thanks to Jessica for assisting and helping keep things in focus. Miriam is a really competent professional and amazing at what she does (that’s why she is on TV all the time). Check out here services on her website.
Hidden Gem of a mountain lake in northern New Mexico
New Mexico has dual environmental personalities. The lower half of the state is mostly sand and baron. The upper half, is mostly mountainous and tree covered. So when you think New Mexico is a desert state, it’s hard to also picture that there is a place like Eagle Nest Lake State Park that is a mountain lake surrounded by tall grass and other flora. Hiking paths will take you all around the lake with pivoting views of different mountains. This is a place to come and cool off from the extreme summer heat. It was only 74F for a high on this day in late August! Check out the map below to visit this hidden gem mountain lake oasis.
Letting actors shine during their headshot photo session in ABQ
Right from the moment Hillary walked into the JCP Home Studio here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I knew this was going to be a high energy and dynamic actor headshot photoshoot. More and more actors are choosing Jason Collin Photography for their headshots, and I really appreciate it! When someone has an outgoing personality like Hillary’s, I just get the lighting right, have my camera ready, and let them do their thing. That’s how in less than an hour photo session we were able to create so many different headshot looks, with wardrobe changes, some lighting changes, and some background color changes too. This was a super fun shoot and I look forward to working with Hillary again and maybe even collaborating too! Thank you Hillary for choosing me for your actor headshots. Check out Hillary’s Instagram too!
Secretary of Energy Granholm is all over Albuquerque
Not one, but two events on one day photographing Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico was how I spent a recent Wednesday. These were the first real events I photographed since the pandemic started. The first event was hosted by SWEEP and took place near a residential building in SE ABQ. The spectral lighting made it tough to get good looking photos from a photography perspective, but as you can see from the photo below, my camera was not the only one there dealing with that challenge! The next event was at Kairos Power, which is a new client of mine I did a lot of headshots for just the prior week. This time they invited me back to photograph Secretary Granholm on a tour of the facility. Many of those photos can be used in house only because of the propriety content in them, but I am able to share a few of the tour photos, ending with a creative shot of the Secretary ending a long day in ABQ!
Before and After Drone Video for Sunland Asphalt in Belen New Mexico
Back flying for Sunland Asphalt, this time in Belen, New Mexico, I made two visits to Vista del Rio for a “before and after” drone video showing the crew at work putting in the new asphalt, and then the after of the fully repaved community. These types of drone flights are always dynamic and I enjoy the challenge of capturing live action with the drone. Thank you to Jeff of Sunland for continuing to choose me as your drone pilot!
Client inspired bold modern headshot in Albuquerque
Listening to the client is very important in headshot photography as this type of photograph in particular, is absolutely all about the client. Dominic visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for his headshot session, and this angle and pose were his idea. It turned out to be my favorite shot of the shoot as well. I feel it is a bold, modern headshot that makes an impression! Thank you Dominic for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
