Model Photography Workshops by Mary DuPrie So another great workshop has come to a close and the image of Chelsey above is just one of many examples.  The wall she’s standing in front of is a nasty background wall that’s had many lives. I recently painted white over the whole textured mess.  It’s had several […]

Thumbnail image for When Models Do Their Own Makeup

Michigan People Photographers Mary DuPrie It’s rare to see a face that needs no retouching, but they do exist.  Andi is one of them.  What’s even more unusual is no retouching after they’ve done their own makeup.

Oakland County MI Portfolio Photographers Mary DuPrie I always tell myself to take behind the scenes pics, but unfortunately, the shoots been long over.  Even if just for myself.  Sometimes I look back at some of my images… hummm, I wonder how I shot that.  It’s just not in my work flow.

Thumbnail image for Getting Kids to “Un-Model”

Childrens Headshots In Detroit Mary DuPrie Getting kids to “un-model” can be quite a task.  Kids as well as adults have an idea of what modeling is.  I call it “vogueing” or better yet “face-booking”. Really trying too hard to model, over the top, stiff poses.  I want a very relaxed almost bored looked.  When […]
