The best lawyer headshots in Albuquerue

Downtown Albuquerque all of a sudden has been an in demand location for my professional headshot photo services! Often when I debut a new photo style on Jason Collin Photography new clients see it and want it too. Such was the case for these lawyer headshots with Scott of Turner Law Firm. The advantage of shooting on location is that you get an absolutely unique background for your headshot. This is demonstrated by the fact just 15 minutes earlier, at the same two downtown ABQ locations, I photographed his partner, Joshua, with the same lighting setup, same intersections in the background, and you can see how different his headshots turned out.

Unique attorney headshot photography in downtown Albuquerque

Back on location in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico for these attorney headshots with Joshua of Turner Law. These headshots were made just 5 days after I made some for a local meteorologist at some of the exact same locations. This shows jus how unique on location headshots are as the background is constantly changing day-to-day. If you want a truly standout headshot that it is impossible for anyone else to have, downtown Albuquerque offers countless opportunities with only having to walk one block! This kind of unique headshot product is what is offered here at Jason Collin Photography for attorney clients, and any client!

Meteorologist Headshot Photo Newscaster for KRQE Connor Lewis in Albuquerque

On location headshot photography at its best in ABQ

Very rarely do I get to make headshots out on location, so when local KRQE meteorologist Connor Lewis asked for a shoot in downtown Albuquerque, I was very excited for it. As it turns out, this was one of my best every photo shoots of any kind. Being used to shooting headshots in studio with a solid white, black, or gray background, having a changing palette in the form of the downtown streets added a new creative element to every headshot I made for Connor. The traffic lights chasing from green to red made a difference, a car stopping with its lights on added to the background, and then in the next shot it moved on and was gone. This was fascinating to me. All through the shoot Connor was the one constant, always being ready for when I framed the shot and needed to get it in what could be my only chance.

The Toadstool Hoodoos of remote Rio Rancho desert rock formations

Hoodoo in the desert!

Looking for an interesting place to go off-roading with a specific destination during my Florida friends visit in December, searching Google Maps I found these rock formations called the Toadstool Hoodoos far west of Rio Rancho in the desert area I often do rural land real estate shoots. The toadstools were further west than even I had been before, so it would be a new adventure for me. We all got in the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and set out not knowing what to expect. Using Google Maps as a guide, it was stop and start to find the best road in, with some warning signs that might defeat less bold explorers. In the end, we made it to these rock formations just before sunset and there was no one around for miles and miles. I was able to treat my friends to a real New Mexico True desert exploring experience!

BTS Still Photography of Video Production in Albuquerque New Mexico

Photography of a Video in Albuquerque via DC

I was contacted by GVI, a video production company based out of Washington, DC to make BTS (behind the scenes) still photos of a video interview they were doing here in Albuquerque. I have done a few shoots like this before, but not for a long time. It is an unusual thing to photograph essentially making a video. I was asked to put my cameras into silent shooting mode, which both my Sony a7R IV and Sony A7 III mirrorless cameras have. That was also odd to push the shutter and hear and feel nothing at all from the camera! This was a fun challenge to incorporate the equipment and also the interviewee in the frame.

Elk in Snow in the Grand Canyon Arizona Wildlife Photography

Elk of the Grand Canyon are real characters

When I first arrived at the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona, there was a bit of down time before I could actually go and see the canyon itself. Fortunately for me, a group of elk was foraging right across the street. This was my first time to photograph elk like this. It turns out these animals are real characters sticking out their tongues at me, laughing, and getting themselves covered in snow just to make a photo more interesting! Thank you Grand Canyon elk for being so photogenic and letting me get some great wildlife shots!

Mule Deer Wildlife Photography New Mexico True in Ramah

At last a mule deer photo opportunity

I am often out in very remote areas from late afternoon until sunset and into twilight times here in New Mexico. I love to photograph wildlife, but despite so much time out in nature, I very rarely have the opportunity to photograph large animals, like the mule deer seen here (learn about mule deer). This is in part because when I am done shooting a piece of rural land real estate, I pack up both cameras into a backpack in the back of my Jeep. So if I do happen to see a deer, or other animal, I have to stop, get out, and then get my camera ready. This always results in the animals taking off never to be seen again.
