Actor Headshot Photographer in Pacific Grove and Monterey with Ian

Actor headshots made to request in Pacific Grove

Ian, a local actor, contacted me with two specific headshots he wanted, one that was kind of moody and serious, and the other that was lighter and smiling. So that’s exactly what we set out to do in our headshot photo session here at the Jason Collin Photography Studio in Pacific Grove, California. Whatever the client wants, whatever the scope is, that’s why I tailor the shoot too. We started with the moody headshot, settling on a background look, and then finished with the smiling, friendlier style headshot changing up the background to bright white for that. Thank you Ian for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

Hayward Lumber Social Media Commercial Photo Shoot in Pacific Grove California

Visiting a Pacific Grove lumber yard to make live social media photos

As sometimes happen, how I think a shoot will go, and how it actually goes, are quite different. Such was the case when I arrived at Hayward Lumber in Pacific Grove, California to first make social media content photos with a provided shot list, and then to get a few photographs of the event taking place right in the lumber yard parking lot. Normally I would want to setup shots, likely use off camera lighting, and be in a controlled environment when doing this kind of photography, but, none of that was possible in an open for business lumber yard! I had to get the shots I could, as work happened live, finding volunteers for photos when possible and trying to tick off as many shots as I could from the shot list. With the help of a few team members, I was able to complete the list in the end!

Making candids across Monterey County starting in Salinas

In yet another hard to believe photography connection, a media company I did a shoot for in Albuquerque three years, has another campaign they are working on here in Monterey County where I moved to 1.5 years ago. So through this cross time and state connection, I was out on assignment working with a representative from the Monterey County Department of Education making photographs of the first of 6+ kids and students across the large expanse of the county. I was told just to get photos of the kids being kids, so that’s why I did for this first student at a school in Salinas. I really like this kind of “on assignment” type photography. More photo shoots to come this month for this campaign!

Pebble Beach California Fine Art Photography Sunset Flowers DoF

Using shallow depth of field for Pebble Beach sunset photography

It was a beautiful evening here in the Pebble Beach area so I took my camera to one of my favorite spots along 17 Mile Drive, Bird Rock. I already had the Sony 50mm f/1.2 lens on my camera from a shoot the day before, so I left that on, to get a different perspective for sunset photography, and I knew before going there I did want to shoot at f/1.2 for shallow DoF shots. Then I saw these flowers growing atop a small cliff, and used them as the focal point and let the sun go out of focus. This extreme difference in foreground and background focus interests me and I feel reveals a different world.

Carmel Airbnb Photography for a cozy cottage on Torres St

Melissa did a fantastic job of preparing her Airbnb property in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California for its first photography day of two. I will return to get twilight shots and more exterior shots in the near future. This photo focussed on the main living space, the dining room, and the two bedrooms. I worked closely with Melissa to photograph just the spaces from the angles that were the most photo ready. It was a true team effort on this Airbnb photo shoot in Carmel. Thank you for choosing me as your Airbnb Photographer Melissa!

Professional Photography of construction renovations in Pebble Beach California

This was the fourth renovation shoot (first and second and third shoots)  I did for Adelle of Murrer Construction this time featuring some detailed bathroom design, custom cabinetry, and a whole new kitchen for a home redone from the studs out in Pebble Beach, California. Adelle’s team did a great job with a mix of styles from a more modern and open kitchen, to custom wallpapering in a bedroom, to a bathtub with full view of the backyard area. Thank you Adelle for continuing to choose me as your photographer for your construction renovation projects in the Pebble Beach area.
