Portfolio Photographers in Michigan

Detroit Headshot Photographers Mary DuPrie I’m not a fan of doing critiques because I don’t like to hear “their” feedback… as in… blah blah blah I like quiet when I’m doing a critique, as in, just listen.  When we bring our books into commercial clients there is no speaking, we just stand there and answers […]

DDetroit Executive Headshot Photographer Mary DuPrie The image above was from my CBS studios shoot for their on-air talent.  I love the fact they want cool hip horizontals along with the traditional verticals.  The background is the hardest to shoot.  It’s hard to get use to the idea that the floor is  half of my […]
