There are often weather alerts for “sneaker waves” for the Monterey Bay coast where I live. Pacific Grove is a quiet small town, right on the coast that is often full of drama. Such was the case on a recent afternoon, so I took my camera with 70-200mm lens (medium telephoto) to see what wave splashes I could capture. When I took the above shot, about 100 shots into the time I was shooting, I knew immediately it was the shot I had been looking for, and that was even before I noticed the birds in it, which just added to the shot. I took a few more photos after that, but I knew I had gotten what I envisioned before even leaving the house. This is something very satisfying and recommended for any photographer, envision what photo you want to get before going out, and then when you get it, you will know.
Bird Rock is one of the best sunset viewing spots along 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach California
There are many scenic viewing points along 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach, California. I discovered Bird Rock because of a cycling group I was riding with stopped there one evening. Besides the great view, this lookout point has lots of parking and picnic tables and even a restroom. I decided to grab the camera and head out there, by car this time, to get a few shots of the sunset and twilightsky. It’s named Bird Rock for the big rock just offshore that is used as a rookery. Lots of birds were coming home from their day of work to spend the night on Bird Rock.
Kitchen Remodel Photography for Home in Pacific Grove California
It was a very specific subject for my third shoot (first and second shoots) for Adelle of Murrer Construction, a custom kitchen renovation in a Pacific Grove, California home. The team at Murrer changed a galley kitchen into a modern, open, large island style kitchen with white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. This is all not mentioning adding hardwood floors too! I saw a couple of before pictures and the difference in function and vibe made to the house is unbelievable. I think the new kitchen photographed very well. Thank you Adelle for continuing to choose me as your photographer!
Bathroom and Bedroom Remodel Photography for Home in Pacific Grove California
This is already the second shoot for my new client, Adelle of Murrer Construction. The amazing work her construction team did on this bathroom renovation made shooting it a creative jog. My favorite photo from this commercial real estate shoot in Pacific Grove was this top down one of the free standing soaking bathtub. For the bedroom I wanted to highlight the details they built in, not the furniture the owner added. So the custom cabinetry is in the shot below, as long as the two sets of doors, one leading to the deck and the other to the bathroom. Thank you Adelle for being my first client in Pacific Grove!
Kitchen Remodel Photography for Condo in Pebble Beach California
At long last I have made my photography debut here in the Monterey area of California! I am very lucky to have such a great first client, Adelle of Murrer Construction. Her construction company did a remodel of this kitchen in a condo in Pebble Beach, California. I was encouraged to be as creative as I wanted to in highlighting the work her team did on transforming this kitchen into a modern, blue toned eye catcher! I used both a wide angle lens and a large aperture prime lens to get different, creative views for Adelle to use in her company’s marketing materials. Thank you Adelle for being my first client in the Monterey area!
More and more doctors in Albuquerque are choosing Jason Collin Photography for their headshots. Dr. Alexander visited the JCP Home Studio wanting a nice, clean, modern headshot. That is what I specialize in! He opted for one with the traditional doctor’s white coat on, and one in just his suit jacket. Thank you Dr. Alexander for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Scott visited the JCP Home Studio for headshots, but not just for one type of headshot. By profession he is a lawyer and wanted headshots for that, but in his other life, he is also an actor! So he started out in a nice suite like you’d expect to see a lawyer in, before changing up to a blue pullover for more casual actor headshots. I would say this is a first for me, but I’ve actually done one of these shoots a few years ago for a person that was both a lawyer and actor! Thank you Scott for choosing me as your headshot photographer for both your lawyer and actor headshots!
