Lately I’ve been to both Valencia County and Torrence County in New Mexico several times on rural land real estate photography shoots. This is an opportunity to go to an area that is usually pretty remote and quiet and just listen to the desert as the daytime shift gives way to the nighttime shift. Plus, if the clouds are right, the big sky sunsets make for great views.
Read MoreA representative from RM Sotheby’s called me up about photographing this majestic 1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith in nearby Sandia Park, New Mexico. I am always excited to have the opportunity to photograph special cars like this Rolls-Royce. It even had quite a history, as it was originally in Canada and in 1957 when Prince Phillip visited the Canada for the celebration of its independence, he rode in this very car! There is a plaque on the dash to commemorate this even. I found this car very striking from the outside with its sweeping wheel well design and of course the always impressive front grill that is the hallmark of all Rolls-Royce vehicles to this day. Using the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens, the magic properties of that lens along with the striking pose of theSpirit of Ecstasy combined for incredible detail shots of this storied vehicle. Thank you to the owners for the interesting conversation while shooting, and to RM Sotheby’s for the opportunity to spend time with the history of this Rolls-Royce!
Read MoreMaking candid photos is one of my favorite things to do as a photographer, so when past client Athena Christodoulou contacted me about meeting her at a Bosque political event to make candid photos of her talking with voters, I thought this is a great chance to use the natural environment without walls to make some truly unique images for her campaign. Athena was able to talk with a variety of people, even someone with a dog (always a photography win), with several different backgrounds. She also changed jackets to add variety to the candid shots. Thank you Athena for continuing to choose me as your photographer!
Read MoreMore and more young professionals are choosing Jason Collin Photography for their business and corporate headshots right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ashley visited the JCP Home Studio and decided upon a clean white background for her modern business headshots. As always, I offer a friendly and relaxed photography environment for headshots, with an efficient photo shoot when needed, so I was able to make this pair of headshots for Ashley not taking up more than 15 minutes of her busy schedule. Thank you Ashley for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Read MoreIt was great to visit Roxy’s Cake Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a fun food photography photo shoot where I finally got to use one of my new Duo Boards! What you see is called the Whitewash design which appears a very realistic white painted wood slats. Can you believe it’s not really wood? Roxy’s bakery has only been open about 6 weeks! She is located right in the Coronado Mall with its own exterior entrance. If you like Chantilly cakes and you like to support a local small business, then this is the cake shop for you!! Thank you Roxy for a great food photo shoot and assisting with the reflector for the hero shot!
Read MoreA recent visit to Colorado did not go exactly as planned, but we were still able to take in some views on the famed Million Dollar Highway that is north of Silverton. What a fantastic driving road with views that go on for miles. At least in the summer, there are no lack of amazing mountain towns to visit in a sports car to take advantage of all the sweepers, hairpins, and twisties on the roads in between all nestled in stunning setting after stunning setting.
Read MoreMany people contact me here in Albuquerque, New Mexico needing last minute headshots which I always try and accommodate as much as possible. Such was the case with Stefan and luckily the scheduling worked out just in time for us to have the headshot photo session, for me to edit them, and then for me to send him his secure online gallery. Stefan started out with a white background, but found he liked the gray background much more and chose two headshots using it. This is why I always encourage clients to try at least two different backgrounds as you never know what you may end up liking the best! Thank you Stefan for finding me and choosing me as your headshot photographer!
