Vertical Videos

November 6, 2010

Chelsey from mary duprie on Vimeo. The Chelsey video I’m posting doesn’t appear here because it’s been filmed vertically.  Somehow Vimeo isn’t seeing the code for me to post the actual video.  Erick Leskinen constructed a custom bracket to shoot my HD video camera vertically…  yoo hoo It took quite a bit of research to […]

Metro Detroit Michigan Headshot Photography by Mary DuPrie I’ve posted a couple of images I shot last week for Elizabeth to send into the local modeling agencies.  I’ve shot her before so I didn’t feel the need to talk about what to bring… hummm.  We were shooting three looks, one being a headshot.  Mom showed […]
