Senior Photos & Other Projects

(Lots of new photos below / Double-Click on

 any image to enlarge it)


Hello,

It has been a few months since our last update.  We've been kept busy with several large commercial clients, including shooting a NASCAR event at the Albuquerque NAPA Speedway, a first for New Mexico.  These images created a lot of interest in the racing world and several were published worldwide.

We've also found some time to resume our Senior photography work and some great local high school Seniors. 

For more information on our very affordable Senior Photography services and schedule, just email us at info@Route66Photography.com  or visit our website at  www.Route66Photography.com .   We don't charge excessive session fees or sitting charges.  And, we never sell you 'packages' and 'sets'.  You pick the images you like from your proofs and you'll receive the edited, retouched photos as high-resolution digital images for printing AND Facebook optimized versions on a CD along with a full Photographer's Release. 

Take your CD to any photo printing facility in town or simply upload them to one of the many high quality photo printing facilities around the country like www.mpix.com  and order only the sizes and number of prints you actually want, anytime, from large 16x20 inches to wallet sized to trade with friends and family.

Your Senior photos will be made using the very latest,  NIKON D800E,  Full-Frame 36MP DSLR for the highest possible resolution, quality, and color capture. 

We're looking forward to hearing from you and working with you on your Senior Photos or modeling portfolio!

Best,

Steve Snowden

We've also been busy as we continue our celebrity and performance photography at several area venues.  Glen Campbell, Comedian Anjelah Johnson, and Crosby Stills & Nash are just a few we've photographed this year.

Lupita is back in New Mexico for the Summer and is spending some of her time continuing her writing and studying her craft. She plans someday to both direct and act in Hollywood films.

Best of luck to Lupita with her studies and future career both behind and in front of the camera!

If it's time to update your actor / actress headshot portfolio or take that first step and create your first one, give us a call and let's get it on our schedules. If you've lost or gained more that 10 pounds, or cut or colored your hair since your last headshots, give us a call at 505.401.6358. We can schedule your headshot session and make it fit with your work and school schedule. And, if you call now and schedule before July 15th, you'll lock-in our current rate of just 100.

Lucky for You, Most Actors and Actresses Don’t Become Successful.

There are hundreds of actors and actresses in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area, but the reality is most of them are sitting on their hands thinking they are going to be "DISCOVERED".

The movie and television industry is a business, and you have to market yourself accordingly. You and your talent are a product that you have to merchandise, improve, and sell everyday.

Most hopeful actors and actresses don’t budget ANY of their time merchandising themselves. Lucky for you, most actors and actresses don’t become successful. There are too many other easier and rewarding careers in the world. If you aren't committed to your acting career, then you might as well choose a different career instead of wasting your time, waiting to be discovered while you walk around the mall.

If you really want a full or part-time career in the Albuquerque / Santa Fe movie and TV industry, you need take it seriously. You've got to want it more than the 100's of other men and women out there who want the same thing.

The lucky thing for you is, most of them will not take to time to sign up for acting classes. Most of them won't practice their facial expressions in front of a mirror for 15 minutes a day. Most of them won't volunteer at local theater groups for a chance to be on stage and improve their presence. Most of them will rely on a Polaroid or a cheesy shot from their MySpace page instead of taking professional 8x10 glossies to their casting calls.

So get to work! Call and get information on acting classes. Steve Wilmon at Ovations Film Actors Studio www.OvationsFilm.com offers a variety of both evening and day and weekday and weekend classes.

Visit my website at http://www.route66photography.com/ and see a sampling of my headshot work. Call me today and schedule a head shot session. I can accommodate your budget and your work and school schedule.

Make 2010 the year that you take yourself, your dreams, and your aspirations seriously!

Your edited images are given to you on CD along with a signed Photographer's Release. Print and distribute your images without restrictions.

There are a lot of exciting new and continuing film and TV projects now in the area. Set building is underway for the blockbuster new movie THOR up North of Santa Fe right now. Check out the local casting calls and start 2010 with a great new series of headshots.

Give me a call anytime at 505.401.6358 to schedule a headshot session that will fit YOUR family, work, and school schedule. Visit our website http://www.route66photography.com/ to see more headshots of Jenna and other recent clients.

Another Client Success Story!

We got a call from Sasha's Mom, Leslie the other day letting us know that 9 year-old Sasha WON First Place in the Photogenic Catagory at America's US Miss Pageant in St. Louis last weekend. Sasah is a recent headshot client of ours and exclusively used the photos we made for her portfolio presentation for the competition. Here's a photo of Sasha (courtesy of Leslie Butcher) immediately after the announcment in St. Louis last weekend.

Recent Advertising - Commercial Photography for Weck's Restaurant

The storyboard / layout for the new Weck's advertisment is now complete, incorporating some of my recent commercial photography. Route 66 Photography was contacted by Weck's Restaurants to photograph some delicious menu items for their current and upcoming advertising campaigns.

We photographed their incredible pancakes, papas, and omelettes for upcoming ads for Red Plum and elsewhere.

The creative design and layout was done by Albuquerque's Myriah Landolfi. She's dependable and full of fresh ideas.

Here's the ad that will be appearing in Red Plum.

Be watching for the Weck's advertising and coupons, but you don't have to wait for that. Check out any of their Albuquerque locations for an incredible breakfast or lunch.
Don't forget to tip your wait staff!
Cheers,
Steve
