You’ll Love Pie Charts!

Detroit Michigan People Photography by Mary DuPrie So I totally got carried away on Skype tonight with Aurora V and missed my class reunion.  I didn’t remember until 11:30pm.   We both can gab.  First we start off typing with one another and then one of us figures out why don’t we just call!?  Dahh, […]

Detroit Michigan Modeling Photographers Mary DuPrie I’m not much of an artsy fartsy photographer but Andi has such a great editorial face.  I hand Andi this atrocious jacket to wear and say “don’t worry, it shoots great”.    It’s so ugly and matronly in person it’s actually funny.  It’s kind of a mother of the […]

Michigan Model Portfolio Photographers Mary DuPrie With all the shooting at my workshops I forget how much work my lights have to do.  I blew the capacitor on my Elinchrom 1200ws mono light for the second time… boo hoo  I’ve had it repaired in the past and I believe it was around $250.  I blew […]

I tend to […]

Having a “non-model” client pose in a model way is no easy task.  To get the face and emotion right and then ask to do awkward body positions is hard. Mike is standing with his weight all on the front foot to thrust the body forward, what I call “turtling”.  The camera flattens you out […]

Chelsy, July 2010 Workshop So we were rushing drying times on this background during the workshop.  I used smooth and rough texture plaster for the first time on the canvas which I’ve never tested, let alone on still damp canvas.  You can buy a 2 1/2 gallon container cheap from Home Depot or Loews.  It’s […]

I want to know why my readership spikes when I post an image of a hot chick!? Should I post one every time as a lead in? Kinda like having desert first Still testing hard light and B&W.  The resulting B&W above is from a set of Craig Miniellys actions called I-Tones.  He sets up […]
