Than you to Deanna and Southwest Life for continuing to send your new real estate broker team members to the JCP Home Studio for their headshots! Here at Jason Collin Photography I really, really appreciate my returning clients and long time clients, and Deanna is one of the very longest I have had since moving the business to Albuquerque. So when new team member Derek needed headshots, I was happy to have a Covid-19 safe headshot shoot and make the very best headshots in the city for him. Derek did great in front of the camera!
Back on a professional food photography assignment in Albuquerque, New Mexico for Grubhub this time at Asahi Express. This is a new restaurant that opened up just before Covid-19 shut down, so I was glad to be able to make photos for them to help them jumpstart their business now that restaurants are allowed to be open at 50% capacity. As per Grubhub guidelines I shot with only natural, available light. I used a reflector to add what pop I could to the ambient florescent lighting and the minimal light that was coming through the opaque windows. Fortunately, the menu items themselves held a lot of interest. If you are looking for good bibimbap and want to support a new business in ABQ, check out Asahi Express.
Product Photography Covid-19 Safe for Etsy in Albuquerque
Professional product photography that is Covid-19 safe is available in Albuquerque , New Mexico here at the JCP Home Studio (see Covid-19 safety video). If you are an Etsy seller, or sell locally but want to have a better online selling experience for your customers, then professional product photography is the way to impress and attract more customers to get more sales even during Covid-19. My goal here at Jason Collin Photography is to help businesses stay in business and prosper by making their products look stunning in a visual way for your online store, Etsy page, and on social media.
Show your business is Covid-19 Safe with professional photography in Albuquerque New Mexico
WIth many businesses opening back up during the Covid-19 pandemic, proper social distancing practices need to be implemented, and here at Jason Collin Photography I want to help Albuquerque businesses show their customers/clients/patients they are being safe. On my fourth shoot for San Mateo Inn, the owners wanted me to highlight their new curbside check-in process to show a safer way of staying at the hotel during Covid-19. I was really glad to make these photos for one of my best clients, to help them show how they are valuing the safety of their guests by offering curbside check-in. Going forward into the summer of 2020, this is one of my main focuses, to help businesses in Albuquerque promote their new Covid-19 safe business practices with professional photography they can use on social media and on their websites to show that they are in fact back open, and being safe with Covid-19.
Returning client Tavis, of Morrision Outdoors, brought his latest kids sleeping bags to the JCP Home Studio for professional product shots, that are featured on REI.com. This was my third shoot for him, and done in a safe, social distancing way in this time of Covid-19. He dropped off the sleeping bags in the studio with both of us wearing masks and 6 feet apart, and then left as I started the photo session with great help from Jessica as always who staged the sleeping bags. I show one of our secrets in a BTS photo below showing how to get volume in a sleeping bag by filing it with towels, paper towels, and even a canister of disinfectant wipes!
Large product photography for Aristech on green screen
Returning client Aristech, located in Belen, New Mexico, this time needed professional product shots of a very large (7 feet tall!) item on a green screen. Regular readers of Jason Collin Photography may recall that last fall I made a wide variety of commercial photos at Aristech of the team producing this type of item. That was a very complicated shoot in terms of moving around the facility. This large product shoot was complicated in its own way due to the size of the item and its highly reflective surface. The overhead lighting could not be adjusted other than being turned completely off. After trying a couple of different lighting setups, I finally settled on one overhead light only on the time. You can check out the BTS shot below showing the entire green screen setup.
New Mexico State Senate Candidate on location photo shoot
I always really, really appreciate returning clients to Jason Collin Photography, and especially when the photos I make for them are as important as they are for New Mexico State Senate candidate Athena Christodoulou. Our first photo shoot was here at the JCP Home Studio for headshots. During this time of the coronavirus pandemic social distancing is a must, and for this on location shoot we were always more than 6 feet from each other and no one else was around. Jessica and I both wore masks during the entire shoot as well. It was a fun challenge to shoot in these conditions! Thank you fo Jessica for climbing a wall to get the diffuser in just the right place and to Athena for continuing to choose me as the photographer for her campaign.
