Grants, New Mexico is a Route 66 town with a cool drive thru
New Mexico has several historic old Route 66 towns, that can now be more easily accessed by traveling on I-40 and exiting. Somewhere between Albuquerque and Gallup resides the town of Grants, which has a cool Route 66 shaped sign you can actually drive your car through and take a photo with. In this tour of Grants drone video, you can see to the east that the town borders lava fields and has views of snow capped mountains to the north. Have you ever been to Grants, New Mexico?
Team Headshots for an ever expanding team in Albuquerque
Long term client HUB International had enough new team members for an entirely new team headshot shoot here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, even though I just did a 25 person team headshot shoot for them earlier last year. I went on location again for maximum client convenience. The mobile studio setup I use produces the same modern, professional headshots I can make at the JCP Home Studio. I really appreciate Vivian and the entire team at HUB International for continuing to choose me as their headshot photographer!
Red Rock Mesas of McKinley County New Mexico Drone Video
Back out in the New Mexico desert for the first time in a while for rural land real estate photography. This time I was in McKinley County New Mexico somewhere west of Grants and east of Thoreau. The obvious highlight of this area were the many red rock mesas creating a dramatic view and landscape. I sent the drone up and over the mesas showing the view from atop, ground level, and in between. If you want to own these views, contact Hemingway Land Company.
Mountain setting for Airbnb in the La Luz area of Albuquerque New Mexico
Hidden far up La Luz in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is this Airbnb nestled in a stunning mountain setting. I took my camera and drone through winding dirt roads to reach this Airbnb to make professional photos of it as the owner wants to stand out from all the competition in Albuquerque. I sent the drone up first to show the Airbnb listing’s proximity to the Sandia Mountains and hiking trails. Inside, I featured using a wide angle lens the open floor plan of the main level, and then the two upstairs bedrooms. Switching lenses I then made highlighting photos of the features in this Airbnb, like a crib for a baby, high chairs, and a cool bean bag chair for lounging around. My goal when photographing an Airbnb is showing others what I would want to see if I were considering this Airbnb listing using my 10+ years experience of staying in Airbnbs all over the U.S.
Creative and modern headshots for attorneys in Albuquerque
More and more attorneys are choosing Jason Collin Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico for their headshots because of my modern, professional style, and friendly and relaxed studio environment. Kate visited the JCP Home Studio for a series of attorney headshots with a couple of wardrobe and posing changes. As an attorney, she has a very busy schedule, and in less than a 30 minute headshot photo session, I was able to make these headshots for Kate. Thank you Kate for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Creative personal branding photos for marketing CEO in ABQ
Back out on assignment for an out of state trade magazine to make more commercial portraits and personal branding photos for an upcoming article they are writing about Del Esparza. I met Del at his downtown ABQ office which had this great brick wall, conference room, and open space to make enough photos right there. However, we finished the shoot with some high impact street portraits, one of my favorite kinds of photos to make. For all these photos I used my Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens that excels in both small spaces still creating shallow depth of field shots, and out in open space for more landscape portrait type shots with some out of focus background. Shooting on location like this allows me to create unique backgrounds for clients. Great job in front of the camera Del!
