Albuquerque Water Utility Authority Inside and Outside Commercial Photography

January 19, 2023 in Commercial

Learning through photography with the Water Utility Authority

My last two days of photography for 2022 were spent at various Water Utility Authority of Albuquerque sites, both inside and out! This was actually my second shoot of the year for them, as I worked on making photos of award winning residential landscaping that you can see in their 2023 calendar. I learned a lot during these days of shooting about where our water comes from, how it is processed, and just how far ranging the duties of the Water Utility Authority are! As you can see in the photos, for the inside shots I was in testing labs and huge pipe filled caverns, and then outside from retaining tanks right to the banks of the Rio Grande River itself! Thank you to everyone at the Water Utility Authority willing to be models in the photos!

Creative Personal Branding Photography in ABQ

Continuing the CNM Founders photo series (see this, and this, and this) I went to Electric Playhouse in Albuquerque, New Mexico to photograph the owner, Brandon, right in the settings customers can see when they visit! Talk about getting unique backgrounds for personal branding photos! Brandon cycled through various light projections. We settled on one that is actually straight fire and another Van Gogh-esque surreal blue swirl. If only I had these projectors in my own photo studio! Thank you to Brandon for the opportunity to shoot in Electric Playhouse itself.

Indoor and outdoor in downtown ABQ personal branding photoshoot

The last photoshoot for 2022 for the ongoing CNM founders project is with the person who invited me to be the photographer for the project herself, Jen Mulliniks. We met right outside her office building in downtown Albuquerque to start the shoot with some street shots. We then went inside and used, at Jen’s own suggestion, some of the buildings unique architectural features. I made the above photo by going half a staircase down, leaving a light hidden behind the wall to light up Jen in the circle. My semi-related inspiration was the cover of Carole King’s album, Tapestry. Thank you Jen for choosing me for this project and for a great photo shoot of your own!

Personal branding photo shoot with an interior designer in ABQ

Interior designer Racheal contacted me about making some personal branding photos here in Albuquerque to help her jump start her business’ website and marketing campaign. She had access to a great location that allowed us to make a large variety of photos in just a one hour shoot. It also helped she did great in front of the camera too! Thank you Racheal for choosing me as your personal branding photographer!

Golden light in Altura Park for commercial portraits in Albuquerque

Continuing the ongoing photography project I have with CNM to photograph founders of various local businesses (see first shoot), I met Trish of Teeniors at Altura Park. I have known Trish already for a couple of years through various business community and networking events. Even knowing someone just a little makes a big difference in the photo shoot I have found in my 13 years of doing this. Thus, the commercial portraits I were able to make of Trish, also benefiting from the late afternoon light in the park, resulted in some of the best photos I have made this year. Of course, Trish was a natural in front of the camera which always makes things much easier too! Thank you to Jen for organizing and to Trish for our planned, but still impromptu photo shoot!

Horses and Robots for CNM Photography Project in Albuquerque

Making photos of horses and robots and people for CNM

All of October I am working on a project for CNM making photographs of founders of companies in and around Albuquerque. Some of these people I have already known for quite some time, like Paul of Equiseq. And I also tangentially knew Chris of Build With Robots from an open house years ago. I really like photo assignments like this where with a simple one light off camera setup, can go into a new environment and have free reign to create the photo I like of each person. Thank you to Jen and CNM for choosing me as the photographer for this project!
