Thank you everyone for a great year in photography and drone 2021!

Thank you for making 2021 the best year ever for Jason Collin Photography

I am very fortunate to be able to say 2021 was the best year ever, by far, for Jason Collin Photography. Thank you so much to all the new clients in 2021, and a really big thank you to all the returning clients in 2021. I truly appreciate you choosing me as your photographer and drone pilot! For 2022 I have an all new, more capable drone (DJI Mavic 3 Cine) to produce even better aerial drone photos and video, and for photography clients, new lenses and improved editing techniques will make photos in 2022 better than ever.

12th Anniversary of Jason Collin Photography

12th Anniversary of Jason Collin Photography

Made my own job as a photographer

Well, somehow I have made it 12 years as a full-time professional photographer. Like most businesses, it has not been a smooth, linear progression going ever upward, but rather a roller coaster. Jason Collin Photography as an official licensed business started in June 2009. However, I was first paid for photography in 2008 when I still lived in Tokyo, Japan. In 2009, having returned to Florida, circumstances convinced me I needed to create my own job, and I made the bold leap into being a full-time photographer immediately, no keeping a part-time job or anything.

It was a 100% commitment to sink or swim.

Thank you from Jason Collin Photography 2020

Thank you for all your support of my local small business in ABQ

Well, I bet for pretty much everyone 2020 did not go even as remotely as planned. I feel incredibly lucky to be the type of photographer that was only minimally impacted. Photographing events & conferences was only about 15% of my business in 2019. Much of my work is rural land real estate which is out in the middle of nowhere and drone work of course does not require getting close to people or being in an enclosed space. In fact, thanks to all my great repeat clients, and fantastic new clients in 2020, I feel very fortunate indeed. Thank you everyone for supporting a local small business owner, and know my philosophy remains as always to try and top the last shoot I did, the last drone flight I did, to continue to bring better and better photos and drone video to my clients in a Covid-19 safe way. I look forward to seeing my business networking friends sometime soon in 2021!

My M3 in print

It is still a big thrill to see my photographs in print in a magazine. So when the very first issue of Bimmer Life Magazine arrived in the mail with my photos on a 2-page spread, photo credit, and being mentioned by name in the article itself, I got a rush. The gray M3 convertible above is my own car as well, so my photos and my car in Bimmer Life Magazine! Thank you to Dan for making this happen by getting me to submit these photos to him in time in turn for him to submit them to Bimmer Life Magazine in time.
