Portfolio Photographers in Michigan

March 9, 2011

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 […]

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 […]

The importance of taking a great commercial headshot for agencies is critical.  Understanding what makes a great headshot is part of the equation.  It’s not just a pretty picture.  The image can further a models career, slow it down or stop it completely.  This shoot was Andi’s first to test the waters so to speak.  […]

July 1, 2010

You just never know what you’re going to get when a new model walks in the door.   I’ve been fooled many times in the past so when I see a new model I don’t form an opinion, the camera decides. I gained this attitude from shooting twins years ago.   Upon first seeing them I decided […]

This model has great lips for this shot.  I love the white outline she has on the upper lip and her cupids bow is fairly pronounced.  I don’t use color often on the lips but I think this shot calls for it. A trip to the notions department at Habermans, a local high end fabric […]

When people move they really seem to get in the throwing away mode.  They just want it out of their life.   At first and even now I’m a bit embarrassed to stop, but I just tell myself “I’m a photographer” so it’s ok! My neighbor moved and seemed to  have quite the stash of gift […]
