Creative variety in model portfolio photography in Albuquerque
One of my goals as a commercial photographer is to offer clients who visit the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico, great variety in the photos we make during the shoot, even in just a one hour shoot. Such was the case when Jolie visited for a model portfolio shoot, including some headshots too. She had a number of outfit changes ready, and with shooting head to toe, three-quarter, and the aforementioned headshots, I was able to make for her in just one hour 25 photos she chose from her proofing gallery! I was really pleased with the creativity and variety in photos I was able to make for Jolie and very glad she chose 25 of them to add to her modeling portfolio. Thank you Jolie for choosing me as your photographer!
Hats and t-shirts photographed for client website in ABQ
Aaron of Chasin Quail visited the JCP Home Studio for a professional product photography shoot right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He brought a variety of t-shirts and ball caps to get photographed for his online store. We worked together to get the hat photo perspective just how he wanted, and likewise for the top down shots of the t-shirts. I like these team effort photo shoots where the owners of the products have input since they are their products after all! Thank you Aaron for choosing me as your product photographer.
Change jobs get a new headshot in Albuquerque New Mexico
I first made a headshot for Brett back in 2019 when he was working for a different engineering company. He has since changed jobs and needed a new headshot, and I really appreciate him choosing me once again as his headshot photographer. Furthermore, he brought his wife, Rebecca, this time to get headshots too! We had more formal jacket on headshots and then more business casual style headshots on the shot list for each person. Then as a thank you to Brett and Rebecca, I suggested they get in front of the camera together for a bonus portrait. I really appreciate returning clients who continue to choose me as their photographer. Thank you Brett and Rebecca!
Whenever I am out of town, or in this case out of state, on extended rural land real estate shoots, despite being very busy, I always try and visit some local point of interest. So while in Show Low, Arizona for three days, I fortunately had time one morning to take a stroll around Fool Hollow Lake. The fool part of the name comes from a settler in the 1880s thinking he could farm the rocky ground surrounding the lake area. As it is today, it’s a peaceful place to walk among pine trees with changing views of the lake as you circumnavigate it.
A return to photographing events in Albuquerque for SWE
The uncanny symmetry in timing of photography shoots continues, as nearly exactly two years to the day, and at the very same hotel, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Albuquerque, I photographed my first indoor event since the pandemic started! It was a big return too, shooting 10 hours on a Friday and Saturday for SWE (Society of Women Engineers) having one of their WE Local events right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was great to be back photographing a multi-day conference and feeling the energy and excitement of such an event. Plus, I learned a lot too as I photographed the dozens of breakout sessions and the four keynote speakers. I really appreciate Rochelle, a local member, recommending me for this job as she was a former headshot client.
The beauty of Angel Fire in winter in drone aerial photos
For regular readers of this website, it is no secret Angel Fire has become my favorite place in New Mexico. I have been here many times in the past, but all in summer, and since Angel Fire is most famous for being a ski area, it was great to finally visit the town in winter with snow on the ground! I had a dual mission here, getting drone video of a vacation rental house (which the owner kindly let me stay in!) and working for my main rural land client getting drone photos of his property that just happened to be only 8 minutes from the rental house. I actually thought there would be a lot more snow on the ground here in Angel Fire, but it is the start of March, and the temps have been in the 50s the past few days. It has been great to be in the quiet and beauty of Angel Fire in winter. If I could only run my business from Angel Fire, that would be fantastic!
Mom then daughter gets actor headshots in Albuquerque
More and more actors, and teen actors, are choosing Jason Collin Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico for modern, creative headshots. Julianna visited the JCP Home Studio with her mom, Susan, for a special evening appointment (normally headshots are only offered until rpm). Susan herself just a few weeks earlier was a business headshot client! I really appreciate clients bringing other family members for headshots and portraits. Thank you Susan and Julianna for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
