Bringing the Sandia Mountain views in with real estate photography
Most luxury real estate properties I photograph in Albuquerque, New Mexico are either furnished or staged, but I had the unique opportunity to photograph an unfurnished, just finished, home for the builder themselves. Approaching the house I had no idea the inside would look like it did with its super high ceilings and commanding view of the Sandia Mountains. It is very much a modern house at the foot of the mountains where the views come right in through the windows, which is what I wanted to highlight in the interior photos I made of the main living space.
Modern and dramatic lighting for creative headshots in ABQ
More and more young professionals are choosing Jason Collin Photography for modern, creative headshots that showcase their personality, their brand, and their professionalism. Austin visited the JCP Home Studio for a series of headshots and wanted a variety of lighting styles and poses, including one quite dramatic one that I do not make very often for clients (see yellow shirt below). This was one of those headshot shoots that just clicked with client, lighting, and poses. Thank you Austin for choosing me as your Albuquerque headshot photographer!
While in Angel Fire, New Mexico recently for a rural land real estate shoot, I also made some twilight commercial real estate photos of Angel Fire Resort. I was actually staying at an Airbnb a two minute walk away, so that let me wait for the most ideal time of light and sky to make these long exposure photos. I have been to Angel Fire five times, which is famous for its skiing, but I have never been there in winter! So I have no idea what it looks like to most people who visit this hidden gem of a small town in northern New Mexico.
BMW car photography for Bring A Trailer in Albuquerque
Bring A Trailer contacted me about photographing a local client’s BMW Z4 M right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Being a passionate BMW M3 owner myself, I was extra excited for the opportunity to make great car auction photos of a BMW. I met the owner, Eric, at a location near the Tramway Station for the shoot. It was a real pleasure to get to know Eric over the course of the shoot. The Z4 M not surprisingly photographed very well with its timeless design and silver color. Thank you to Eric and Bring A Trailer for this car photography opportunity right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
More and more actresses and actors are choosing Jason Collin Photography for creative, modern headshots in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kristina visited the JCP Home Studio for a fun headshot shoot with several wardrobe and background color changes. This resulted in her leaving the studio with a great variety of headshots to use as needed for her website, on social media, and for attention grabbing 8x10 prints. Thank you Kristina for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Telephoto Dreamscape Views of Sand Dunes in Colorado
This is my second series of photos from Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado (wide angle first series here), this time featuring all images made with a telephoto lens (Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master). You may think for landscape photography that automatically it’s best to use a wide angle lens. Many times that is the case, but when you are very far from the subject, even a very large subject like sand dunes, a telephoto lens can bring you in close, and produce a unique looking landscape image. As I was driving in to Sand Dunes National Park, I thought the sand dunes themselves looked fake, like CGI. There were this soft focus, creamy aberration before more solid, corporeal mountains. As I was leaving the park, I pulled over and took out the telephoto lens to capture these dreamscape like images. Tell me the sand dunes do not look like they were put into the photos as digitally created features?
Back shooting for Ryerson Real Estate this time in Northeast Albuquerque, where I met Susan Ryerson to make the photos of this property at 8504 Sonoma Valley Dr NE. Working with Susan, or Mark, is always a pleasure as they do not mind helping out to get a room setup just right, and they each have a great eye for detail making my job easier. Thank you Mark and Susan for continuing to choose me as your real estate photographer!
