Detroit Michigan Commercial Photographer So I’m back on track after a grueling 11 hour day on Sunday.  Standing on concrete for 10 1/2 hours with a 1/2 hour lunch. Being a Commercial Photographer is hard hard work.  Being a lifestyle photographer is the fun side of commercial work.  Laughing and smiling are on course for […]

I first handled the Canon 85 1.2 when an attendee brought one to my workshop a couple of years ago.  I have to say I lusted after it.  It was heavy but in just the right way, balanced beautifully.  I use the lens every chance I get. This beauty headshot of Karolina was simply shot […]

I did a commercial shoot a couple of years ago for Greek Town Casino.  It was right up my ally, attractive models smiling, not trying too hard, being warm and friendly.   My “hey” and “alligator” smiles are my signatures and I truly feel I get hired because of them.  The majority of commercial work is […]

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 […]

Once you start shooting models simple things become a big deal.  Take great eyelashes for example. Great full bottom lashes are especially hard to come by and Andi has them to spare.  Andi’s a great test model because she can do her own makeup.  She definitely has a preference on how she wears her hair […]

I’m not sure why but in the last two weeks I’ve had three authors contact me.  Humm, do I have an authors look?  Authors typically don’t have any funds for a shoot and don’t understand usage so my fees are pretty reasonable for them.  One author was a previous client, I shot her twin daughters […]
