I just can’t seem to get away from trash!  The background here is actually a dumpster dive, yep, got in it.  When they deliver furniture it comes wrapped in heavy plastic, like painters plastic drop cloth.  It’s shaped like the furniture so I just cut it at the seams so it will lay flat.  I […]

This set up is in my favorites and i’m asked about it quite a bit.  You do need quite a bit of studio depth to pull it off though I’ve taken 2 4’x8′ frosted acrylic panels, stood them on end, staggered them front to back about 4 ft. and clamped them to a bar.  Looking […]

Metro Detroit Portfolio Photographers It doesn’t seem to stop, they just keep throwing it away.  Dumpsters and dumpsters full.  Doesn’t that just stay in the landfill forever?  Like a Styrofoam cup?  Myth or Fact?

Lifestyle Photography in Detroit Mary DuPrie Having a model holding a coffee cup is much harder than it looks.  Having a cup with the right size and shape handle can make it a lot easier.  I like a handle you can put your hand in, it keeps the hand looking softer. This would be more […]

Detroit Michigan Commercial Photography Mary DuPrie Typical amount of money spent on wardrobe for one of my shoots is about $10. To build a commercial/agency book it’s great to include workout/spa setups with more commercial looking wardrobe. I find that workout images are easier to shoot than bathing suits for a beginner model and models […]
