Camper Airbnb photography in ABQ for marketing

Brian purchased a new camper van to use as an Airbnb rental for adventurous people in Albuquerque, New Mexico looking for a unique way of exploring and sleeping in the state. The best way to get the camper booked every weekend is to have professional photos made of it to feature on the camper’s Airbnb listing. Brian chose a site with mountains in the background and parked offroad to highlight the adventure aspect of choosing this camper van as an Airbnb. I photographed the camper from inside and out showing and highlighting all the key features that make this camper great. Thank you Brian for choosing me as your Airbnb marketing photographer!

Professional Hotel Interior Exterior Photography in Albuquerque San Mateo Inn

New sign new photos for the San Mateo Inn in Albuquerque

I really appreciate returning clients, and Yvette, owner of the San Mateo Inn, is one of the ones I appreciate the most. I returned to the San Mateo Inn for a fifth photo shoot! She got a new sign for the inn plus did even more remodeling of some of the rooms, so it was time for updated photos. Just like I did on a previous shoot, I got a daylight and nighttime exterior shot of the hotel with its great looking new sign. No lighting this time though during the night shot! It is always great working with and talking to Yvette. Thank you Yvette for continuing to choose me as your hotel photographer! Check out the new photos on the San Mateo Inn website.

Commercial Portraits for Magazine Cover in Albuquerque New Mexico with Janice

Commercial Portraits for a magazine article in downtown ABQ

This was another great magazine article shoot for Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City done right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And in a very big coincidence, it was nearly a year to the day of my very first shoot for them and it was in the exact same building! Even though it was the same building, I met Janice in a different area of its amazing lobby in this kind of loft style conference room. Janice was very detailed orientated during her commercial portrait shoot, which is great for getting an as close to perfect shot as possible. Thank you Gary for continuing to choose me as your photographer for these shoots, and to Janice for being so great in front of the camera!

French Bulldog Social Media Photography in Albuquerque New Mexico

Dogs for social media marketing photos in Albuquerque New Mexico

Returning client Miguel of El Paisano Supermarket whom I have done several food photography shoots for in the past, had a very different photo shoot idea in mind this time. He wanted social media marketing photos of his French Bulldogs made on a colorful orange background. You do not need to do much besides feature a tiny French Bulldog puppy to make an attention grabbing social media photo, but putting her in a dog “Dogs Rulle” dog food bowl and then having the other two dogs pose with books and glasses for props while wearing sweaters, and now Miguel has a lot of high impact photo content to use on social media. Thank you Miguel for continuing to choose me as your photographer!

Larry Bell Taos New Mexico Artist Commercial Portraits

Larry Bell and his art and his guitars

Driving up to Taos, New Mexico for a commercial portrait shoot on my second assignment (see the first) for an industry magazine, I had no idea that I would be photographing someone among his hundreds of accosting 12-string guitars. That is exactly the background I found myself in at the Larry Bell Studio photographing the famous Taos artist, Larry Bell. We went around to various places in his studio, including the 1950s sci-fi looking high vacuum device he has for creating his glassworks. He chose a special guitar from his collection for one of his commercial portraits. He bough the guitar decades ago for just a few dollars. He has subsequently spent thousands restoring it! Thank you Larry for showing me around your studio!

Professional Corgi Dog Commercial Photography in Albuquerque

Photography to put your dog on a treat bag!

Victoria visited the JCP Home Studio with her corgi, Mama, for a commercial photo shoot to make images to hopefully put Mama onto a dog treat package. I photographed her dog on a clean white background to make it easy to eventually “cut out” Mama and emblazon her perked up ears onto whatever kind of treat bag she may end up on. This was a fun and challenging shoot and I believe the first time in 12 years as a pro photographer I was actually paid to photograph a dog alone (not with her/his owner). I coincidentally today just photographed the second dog ever for a commercial shoot! None in 12 years and then two in a little over a month.

Angel Fire Resort at Night New Mexico Commercial Real Estate Photography

Angel Fire at twilight in summer

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.
