Asilomar Conference Grounds Event Photography in Crocker Hall in Pacific Grove California

Asilomar Conference Grounds Event Photography in Crocker Hall in Pacific Grove California

Interior Event Venue Photography showing off Asilomar Conference Grounds

This was my first opportunity to make interior event photos at the nearby Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove focusing on the setups and venue spaces themselves. This was the first of three nights in a row, all within a different space on the grounds, with this one being in Crocker Hall and a country theme to the food and venue presentation. The fireplace was a focal point, as well as the hay bales used for display and even seating! I used a variety of photography styles from typical wide angle shots, to shallow DoF (depth of field) shots, to even a long exposure letting the people “ghost” out of the shot, allowing a photo to be used to show the venue rather than actual guests, while still showing guests in the space without identifying them.

Best Actor Headshots in Pacific Grove Monterey with Elijah

Best Actor Headshots in Pacific Grove Monterey with Elijah

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!

Professional Product Photography for cola bottles in California

Professional Product Photography for cola bottles in California

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!

Day and Twilight Vacation Rental Real Estate Photography in Pebble Beach

I spent a day in Pebble Beach at this vacation rental home nestled atop a hill in the pine trees photographing it in daylight and twilight, as well as sending up the drone to get treetop views of the larger property setting. Vacation rental photography does differ from straight up real estate listing photography in how the home is featured, as the furniture needs to be shown on purpose, as it of course is part of the rental itself. Not to mention, a couple of rental experience shots, like the one above. This was definitely a vacation rental to enjoy in the forest of Pebble Beach!
