Having recently graduated and wanting headshot portraits to celebrate the occasion, Maria visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her mom to have a variety of photos made, some with her master’s white collar on, some with different sashes, and some with cap on or off. It is a complicated process to have the cap just right, the sash just right, and especially that white master’s collar is particularly troublesome to get to stay in place! In the end, Maria chose 7 headshot portraits and I am very pleased with the results were were able to get. It was a true team effort with myself, Maria, and her mom all helping to get these photos! Thank you Maria for choosing me as your grad headshot portrait photographer!
Tarot Cards featured in creative product photography in Albuquerque
Product photography photo shoots are some of the most interesting types of photo shoots I do here at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico because of the opportunity to be creative depending on the type of product. For this shoot, tarot cards were featured in a number of creative ways thanks largely to the help of the person who actually made the cards, Darshanie of Lovely Om. She drew the pictures for each tarot card over the course of ten years! Along with her partner Markus, we came up with a fan spread of the cards, some shots featuring a book on tarot and that particular card described on the page, plus my favorite, just spread out some tarot cards and I look for the best angle, kind of freestyle shooting! Thank you to the team at Lovely Om for choosing me as your product photographer!
Working outside in for professional apartment photography in Albuquerque
Professional commercial real estate photography for apartment complexes in Albuquerque involves both indoor and outdoor shooting. As I made my way around Rock Creek Apartments, it is my preference to get the outdoor photos done first, as you never know when the weather can change. Once done with the exterior photos, I move on to the interiors based on what spaces are open at present and likely to get busy sooner rather than later. Plus, the leasing office slash community space had by far the most visual appeal for photographs, so this is where I spent most of my time. Ironically, photographing the interior of the empty apartment units was actually the least time consuming portion of the shoot! Thank you to the team at Rock Creek Apartments for escorting me around!
Modern professional headshots for actors in Albuquerque
More and more actors are moving from L.A. to Albuquerque and I am more than glad to help them with a great new headshot as they transfer their actor careers to the desert. Such was the case with Shelley, who recently moved from L.A., and wanted updated headshots for resuming her acting career right here in Albuquerque. What you can get in L.A. you can get here in ABQ too, including having a professional MUA (makeup artist) present for the shoot. I have worked with Samanthia before on another headshot shoot and hope to feature her more and more for actor headshot sessions, and even for business headshots looking to standout that much more. Thank you Shelley for choosing me as your headshot photographer and good luck with your acting career here in Albuquerque!
Professional event photography at an awards event at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya
Event photography is really starting to return in 2022 as I went to the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa for a multi-day conference for employees of PayneWest. I actually made 30 headshots to start out the event, then returned the next day to photograph the awards ceremony seen here. While I still have reservations about being in a room full of hundreds of people who just flew in from all over the country, and I still wore my N95 mask during the entire event, it was also nice to feel the energy of a live event with everyone extra excited to see each other after a long time apart. Thank you to the team at PayneWest for choosing me as both your event and headshot photographer!
When actors choose Jason Collin Photography for their headshots right here in Albuquerque, I always feel extra flattered as having the right headshot is critical to an actor for getting a role, getting an agent, basically it is a very important starting point. So when Fatirah contacted me to make a few head to toe headshots for her, as well as a more traditional one, I was very thankful. It was a great headshot session working on the 10 foot white seamless background I have especially for making head to toe headshots. Thank you Fatirah for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Professional Product Photography for Beanies Hats in Albuquerque
Long-time client Tavis, of Morrison Outdoors, keeps putting out new products to go with their signature all in one sleeping bags for kids. The latest Morrison Outdoors merchandise? Beanies and knit hats for kids. Now that Tavis is located in the Pacific Northwest, he has to ship the products to me. I still send him real time feedback during the shoot, which this time resulted in him just wanting lay flat views of the beanies. I really appreciate Tavis still choosing me as his product photographer even though he is no longer living and working in Albuquerque. I look forward to seeing what Morrison Outdoors makes next for me to photograph!
