Once in awhile I just have to post some gratuitous sex…todays the day. One of my fav models Tiffany Stone just hangin out at the studio (this is how she hangs out, no, really!). This is the look I’m after but I rented an $8,000. HMI for this.  Wish I still had it.  It was […]

Detroit Michigan Commercial Photography Mary DuPrie Typical amount of money spent on wardrobe for one of my shoots is about $10. To build a commercial/agency book it’s great to include workout/spa setups with more commercial looking wardrobe.

Bloomfield Hills Portrait Photographers Mary DuPrie The first image of Carly is the most requested makeup that Tammy Pore is asked for from brides and the featured image on her website.  But when she does it like that they want it tweaked, she’s confused.  I mentioned they don’t mean it literally, they just love how […]

The amount of time on my computer or computer related issues is incredible……am i really a photographer anymore, or do I take pictures […]
