Shooting tethered for live reviewing helps get the right smile each time!
Natalie and her husband visited my photo studio in downtown Pacific Grove for a series of new headshots for her. Natalie was looking for a couple of specific levels of smile in her headshots. Since I shoot tethered she was able to review each headshot we made in real time on a 43” screen. This allowed us to get the particular smile she wanted for each headshot as we shot on two different backgrounds (white and gray) and with a couple of different poses as well. This is one big benefit I offer headshot clients, the chance to see each headshot as we go through the photo shoot so we work together to get the exact headshot they want. Thank you to Natalie and her husband for a fun shoot, a creative one, and for a true team effort in making these headshots!
Photographing Oil Paintings at Client’s Pacific Grove Studio
Marlene contacted me about becoming the new photographer for her artwork (oil paintings) as her previous photographer had retired. We decided that I would come to her artist studio to photograph her paintings there, as she had a secure wall mount already, and she had 9 rather large paintings, so it would be easier than her bring all of them to my photo studio. This worked out great as her studio turned to be a very comfortable environment to photograph her paintings with good available natural light and space for me to shoot tethered to my laptop so Marlene could then in real time proof the photos of her paintings to make sure the color was accurate as well as the exposure of the photo too. I also got to pet her very friendly dog, Pearl too! It was great talking with and working with Marlene during the shoot. It was one of those photo shoots that makes me feel so good about being a photographer. Thank you Marlene for choosing me as the new photographer for your beautiful and creative paintings!
Headshots for 30 Berkeley Staff Members at Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove California
Some members of Berkeley were coming here to Pacific Grove for a conference at Asilomar Conference Grounds and wanted team headshots of everyone in attendance. This is something I specialize in, making efficient, creative, and consistent headshots for dozens of people while attending a conference. I bring my mobile studio setup for headshots so that everyone gets the same great headshot as if they were at my own photo studio in town. I even shoot tethered to my laptop so each person can proof in real time their headshot, and give the final seal of approval on it. Thank you to the team on site for making it a very smooth shoot, and thank you to Melissa for assisting on the shoot!
In Studio Actor headshots in Pacific Grove California
I met Elijah some months ago playing ultimate frisbee. I learned he is an actor and and he learned I was a photographer, so we came to discuss making new headshots for him right here in Pacific Grove, California as we only live a few blocks from each other! Shooting here at the Jason Collin Photography Studio allows for convenient tethered shooting reviewing results on a 43” TV screen to see in detail each headshot as it is made in real time. This lets clients clearly see their headshot as we work on making the exact headshot wanted, and also allows for more creativity seeing results as they are shot and what works best in terms of background and lighting. Thank you Elijah for choosing me as your headshot photographer and I look forward to seeing you in your next project!
Amanda contacted me looking for new headshots for LinkedIn and for her career as a marketing professional. She brought several outfits to try out to get the look and style she wanted. Here at the Jason Collin Photography Studio trying different looks is easy with a dedicated changing room and since I shoot tethered to a 43” TV, it is easy to find just the right look with instant results on screen. Plus, with cool music playing to set the vibe, it’s my aim to make the most relaxed and fun environment for getting headshots in the Pacific Grove / Monterey areas! Thank you Amanda for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Updated design gets updated product photos for cola bottles in Pasadena
Back in 2023 I photographed the first cola product this client brought to market. Since then, he has changed the name and of course had new labels made. So it should be pretty simple to repeat the results of the first shoot, right? Well, one and a half years ago I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico and now I live in Pacific Grove, California. The client has always lived in the LA area, but the cola was bottled in a small town outside of ABQ. So I was still able to make new products shots for this client by driving down to LA, looking at my BTS reference photo from the first shoot, and replicating the same shots I made for him before. Thank you Chuck for continuing to choose me as your product photographer!
