Creative actress headshot photo session in ABQ with a makeup artist

Sheryl was first going to visit the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for an actor headshot session last fall, but she is a very busy person and often out of ABQ for months at a time. Finally everything aligned for her to get new actress headshots this week and also for Hillary to come over to be the makeup artist for the shoot, as Hillary was a past actor headshot client and was the person who referred Sheryl to me! It was a great headshot session and I really like the results we got showcasing Sheryl’s personality from serious to smiling. Thank you for the referral Hillary and to Sheryl for still choosing me as her actor headshot photographer!

Professional Bottle Product Photography in Albuquerque for Keto Cola

Professional Bottle Product Photography available in Albuquerque

I often learn new things about photography because of getting certain photo jobs. Such was the case with this shoot for Chuck, founder / inventor of Keto Cola. I had never photographed bottles before so it was an adapting, adjusting, and refining process to make these cola bottle photos. Once I got the setup fine tuned for the result Chuck liked, it was then a one right after the other process that I could consistently repeat. I got to use my Light Cone from V-Flat World and my new continuous LED lights. This combo, along with shooting tethered with live view allowed me to show Chuck what the final photo would look like without even pushing the shutter. The glowing yellow photo you see above is a composite image I made using three different bottle photos.

In studio personal branding session with an Albuquerque attorney

A great choice I am now offering clients are branding photo shoots at YDS Studio in Nob Hill. That is where I met David, an attorney, who wanting a variety of branding photos from seated to standing. Using the great new physical backgrounds at YDS Studio I was able to make the kinds of branding photos David was looking for. With the huge windows on one side of the studio, I was even able to use natural light for some of these photos. David was great in front of the camera and open to using all the studio space had to offer. Plus, I offer tethered shooting in studio so he could see the results instantly on a 16” screen. Thank you David for choosing me as your photographer!

Professional Artwork Photography for fine art sculpture in Albuquerque with Sharon

The right light to make the best sculpture photographs in ABQ

It was great to have Sharon back in the JCP Home Studio with two more of her sculptures. I was surprised our first shoot was already over 1.5 yers ago! Last time we used a white seamless background, but Sharon wanted something this time for the limestone fox and marble birds. I suggested using one of my stone surface Duo Boards with just a black V-flat background. A little bit of tweaking of the light, adding a reflector, and voila, I was able to produce the high impact sculpture photos below (see the BTS shot for how I set things up). Shooting tethered really help me show Sharon how the light wrapped her sculpture in real time, so we could add some fill light with a reflector when needed for certain views of the sculptures. I of course welcome artist input during the entire shoot, as Sharon knows the views of her sculptures the best! Thank you Sharon for continuing to choose me as the photographer for your fantastic artwork!

Branding Headshots and Interior Photography for Lawyers in ABQ

It was a fun shoot at Peak Legal Group here in Albuquerque, New Mexico with Sheryl and Harold and their dog who made an appearance in several photos. It’s all part of making good branding photos, including your dog, your own personality, and yourself! It was a wide ranging shoot at their firm making interior photos, as well as better than stock photography of the two lawyers with a “client,” and then also studio quality headshots. You can see in the BTS shot that I can make studio quality headshots even in the tiniest of spaces! Thank you Harold and Sheryl for choosing me as your photographer.
