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 […]

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 […]

Childrens Dance Headshots In Michigan by Mary DuPrie My affinity for shooting straight on serves me well when shooting headshots.  I love a model to look directly into my lens.  Not an easy task at all.  It looks quite simple but is actually quite difficult to do. Maddy is a talented dancer (another category of […]

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 […]

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 […]

Authors

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 […]

Wow, I’m watching the new reality show Double Exposure while I’m writing this post.  I’m glad I don’t shoot with a partner.  Why they do it I don’t know.  They seem to bitch and argue constantly, it’s draining just to listen to.  It seems everyone puts up with it because they produce beautiful work, but […]
