Fountain in Hotel Chaco for downtime photography in Albuquerque
I was photographing a conference at Hotel Chaco last summer and had some time in between events to photograph the flora and fountain found in the inner courtyard of the hotel. I don't often have time to look for shots like this while photographing an event, and almost never go on a photo walk in my personal time anymore, so it was nice to just look for photos like I used to before I became a full-time professional photographer 14 years ago.
Drone Photography showing movie studio lot construction progress in ABQ
I always enjoy getting a call from Shyann of Cinelease Studios Albuquerque (formerly I-25 Studios) because I know that means it’s a chance to fly the drone on an active, working movie studio lot! Of course pretty much everything happens indoors and I am of course outdoors with the drone, but it still feels kind of cool. The drone photography work for the latest project is not Hollywood cinematic, but more practical showing the construction progress being made on the lot. In this series of photos, you can see what the area looked like in January, and now what it looks like 4 months later. Lots of progress is being made to update, modernize, and expand the studio property. Thank you Shyann for continuing to choose me as your drone pilot!
Personal Branding Photos for Lawyers build strong connections to clients
More and more lawyers in Albuquerque are choosing to have personal branding photo sessions to go beyond the stern headshots you see on billboards to better connect with clients. Such was the case with meeting B.W. in the now The Clyde Hotel (formerly the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque) in downtown Albuquerque for an extended series of personal branding photos. Using different lobbies, hallways, and seating areas, I was able to make B.W. a wide variety of shots in just about a one hour shoot, not taking up too much of his valuable time as a lawyer. Great job in front of the camera B.W. and thank you for choosing me as your personal branding photographer!
Author headshots made to attract her target reader audience in Albuquerque
Sometimes clients have very specific ideas for their headshots, and I am happy to make those come to reality. Such was the case for an author who visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mary wanted a certain look and feel to her headshots to match her target reader audience. We made one headshot on a white background and one on a black background to help with the different looks she wanted. Thank you Mary for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Creative high desert rural land real estate photography in Socorro County New Mexico
To be a good rural land real estate photographer in New Mexico, one must be able to often make something out of nothing. Maybe there is a distant mountain or mesa, maybe there are good clouds, but the desert land itself, is often just dry grass and thorny bushes. I use these, for low angle shots and incorporate the dry grass into the foreground to make a more creative and eye catching photo of what otherwise would be just a flat, sparse landscape. Thankfully at this rural land photo shoot in Socorro County, New Mexico, the clouds were fantastic and the sunset pretty good to add some style to the photos.
Now over 130 team headshots made for Bohannan Huston in Albuquerque
There is no organization that I have made more headshots for than Bohannan Huston. A few years ago I made over 70 team headshots of their staff, and in a sign about how much they are growing, I recently went back to make 60+ more headshots! For maximum convenience I setup my mobile headshot studio right in their conference room for on location headshots, and every four minutes another headshot is made, taking up minimal time of the busy team members. Thank you so much Bohannan Huston for continuing to choose me as your headshot photographer over the years!
