Blending drone video and gimbal video for a Nursing Home in ABQ
It is often a client’s request that pushing me to add new skills to my photography toolbox, so when the Odelia Nursing Home in Albuquerque, New Mexico wanted both drone and interior video, I had to quickly buy and learn how to use a handheld gimbal. The results came out well, combining aerial drone video with interior views of the nursing home. To that I added still photo interiors shots too. Since this shoot I already invested in a much better handheld gimbal and look forward to offering clients the option to add “from the ground” video to the drone videos I have been making already for years. Thank you to the team at Odelia for the opportunity!
Variety in simplicity with modern business headshots in Albuquerque
Matthew visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for modern professional business headshots and had one look and pose and one background color he settled on that he liked. So how did I find a way to add variety to that? I changed up the lighting, and converted one of the photos to black and white as a free bonus to provide that variety. My goal as a headshot photographer is to make the headshot the client wants, and make the client look their best in that photo. Great job in front of the camera Matthew and thank you for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
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.
