High Impact THC Product Photography on reflective black background in ABQ
After making a couple dozen photos of their THC products on a white background (see photos) here at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this new client wanted to try out a black background. At the time I only had a 1’ x 1’ black background, but I went to Port Plastics (highly recommended) in ABQ to have a 28” x 36” reflective black acrylic piece made that was big enough to get the shots the client wanted. Finding a way to get the results clients want, even if it requires custom studio pieces, is one of the benefits of choosing Jason Collin Photography! It was great working with Chazz again on these shots and I think the black background compliments the products very well. Thank you Chazz and the team for continuing to choose me as your product photographer!
I was contacted by someone with a couple dozen high end watches, including Rolex, to be photographed for listing for sale online. Without an exact idea for number of photos per watch, the posing of each watch, I agreed to have the new client come in with one example watch to see what he wanted, so that when he brings all 25, we have an established style and look to then photograph each watch efficiently. We learned a lot in many aspects about what each of us needed to do for the final shoot. I still find it hard to believe that the watch you see above is worth $70,000! I look forward to the full shoot of all these shockingly valuable watches in the near future.
Adapting on location to get professional product shots of cannabis in ABQ
You might be surprised how often I have no idea what type of photography situation I will be getting into upon arriving at a client’s location. That’s one of the things that makes a pro photographer a pro, is being able to get good results in any conditions, changing conditions, and challenging conditions. Such was the case with Ironfist Cannabis, where we started out shooting right where the cannabis plants themselves were growing, but had to pivot to trimming the tops off and using a studio background and off camera lighting setup to get the results you see here. This also taught me that I cannot again shoot indoors on location at such a place as the odor from the plants lingers to this day still in some of my photo gear! Thank you to Javier for helping with the shoot on site. This was also the first chance to use my new snoot to really focus the light only on part of the plants. You can see the simple but effective setup below in a BTS shot.
Creative headshots for actors in a relaxed studio environment
More and more actors are choosing Jason Collin Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico for professional, creative headshots. Mark visited the JCP Home Studio with a specific idea for a headshot, having his folded hands in the shot, and on a black background. This is the headshot we created together, and I cannot decide if I like the black and white version or the color version better! Which do you prefer? Thank you Mark for a great actor headshot session right here in Albuquerque!
Long time readers of the website may remember that back in 2018 I photographed Alex’s wedding. So it was a great way to end 2021 with Alex visiting the JCP Home Studio for a headshot session that was my very last photo shoot of the year. It is always the most flattering when friends choose me as their photographer. Thank you Alex for continuing to choose me as your photographer and to all my clients in 2021 for making it the biggest year ever for the photo business!
High Impact and Creative Jewelry Product Photography in ABQ
This is part two (check out part one) of an extended jewelry and Rolex watch product photography shoot I did for Crown Jewels and Coin here at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Crown wanted high impact, high resolution photos of various pieces of jewelry to feature in a TV commercial they were making. Over the course of the shoot I made a variety of jewelry product shots featuring individual pieces, and group shots with nearly all the jewelry they brought all in one shot! In addition, we finished with a few hand modeling shots with the jewelry.
