Commercial Portraits for a magazine article in downtown ABQ

This was another great magazine article shoot for Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City done right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And in a very big coincidence, it was nearly a year to the day of my very first shoot for them and it was in the exact same building! Even though it was the same building, I met Janice in a different area of its amazing lobby in this kind of loft style conference room. Janice was very detailed orientated during her commercial portrait shoot, which is great for getting an as close to perfect shot as possible. Thank you Gary for continuing to choose me as your photographer for these shoots, and to Janice for being so great in front of the camera!

Larry Bell and his art and his guitars

Driving up to Taos, New Mexico for a commercial portrait shoot on my second assignment (see the first) for an industry magazine, I had no idea that I would be photographing someone among his hundreds of accosting 12-string guitars. That is exactly the background I found myself in at the Larry Bell Studio photographing the famous Taos artist, Larry Bell. We went around to various places in his studio, including the 1950s sci-fi looking high vacuum device he has for creating his glassworks. He chose a special guitar from his collection for one of his commercial portraits. He bough the guitar decades ago for just a few dollars. He has subsequently spent thousands restoring it! Thank you Larry for showing me around your studio!

Lola gets in Pulse Magazine with Scot in Socorro

I headed down to Socorro, New Mexico to meet Scot for an editorial photoshoot for Pulse Magazine, which is the magazine for Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. As a nurse and alumni, he was being featured for being the first nurse anesthetist at Socorro General Hospital to live there locally in more than 40 years! I made several photos of Scot, but I should not have been suprised the one the magazine chose also had his dog, Lola, in it!
