Networking friend Jennifer has been coming to the JCP Home Studio which doubles as a workout space the past couple of Fridays for a dose of Insanity Max 30 with me and Jessica. After one such workout, I setup a few lights to have fun with some fitness photos. They each picked up a dumbbell and showed their strength!

I met Heather at a marketing seminar put on by good friend Roger of Beacon Marketing. She contacted me about having headshots made, but for couples, and that she really liked the black background of some of my other headshots. The black background is getting very popular with clients! She owns W2 Welding with Cameron. When photographing a couple who work together and have a personal relationship, I try to portray both in a single photo. That means having some physical contact, but keeping the pose looking a bit formal and with a touch of, "we get things done, together!" I think we were successful in conveying that with the photos we made in the JCP Home Studio here in Albuquerque, New Mexico!

It was such a fun lens to shoot with, as making macro shots always had a sense of wonder at showing a hidden world the naked eye cannot see. It had very creamy bokeh and was very, very sharp. I also loved it for portraits and just as my walking around lens.

Thus, there was a huge turnout. I was there with my Nikon D750 representing the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce, which hosted the event.

Go Local Boom is a local Albuquerque, New Mexico radio show dedicated to showcasing local businesses. I was interviewed about my photography business (Jason Collin Photography) where I had the chance to talk about how I got started in photography, how working for something you are passionate about is great, and how I go about teaching photography to people of wide ranging experience levels.
