Detroit Michigan Modeling Portfolio Photography by Mary DuPrie I’ve shot Karolina quite a bit over the last couple of years.  She came my way via comp card shoot.  She’s so sweet and so much fun she’s my go to girl when I think of testing.  What’s nice is she never seems bothered when I keep [...]

Testing High Key With Karolina

January 9, 2011

Testing with Karolina from mary duprie on Vimeo. Detroit Michigan Commercial Model Photography by Mary DuPrie I’m still not understanding why I’m cutting Karolina’s head off?  I’ve put the safety zone/margins on my video screen, they had two to choose from 4:3 aspect ratio and 90%.  I’m not sure which is the right one.  Perhaps [...]

Lauren, Test Shoot from mary duprie on Vimeo. Detroit Michigan Model Photographer Mary DuPrie Lauren looks great in todays video but unfortunately most of the time she doesn’t have a head!?  I’ve changed the size of the video to make the file smaller, 720×440.  I’ll have to be mindful of the layout lines on the [...]

Michigan People Photographers Mary DuPrie It’s rare to see a face that needs no retouching, but they do exist.  Andi is one of them.  What’s even more unusual is no retouching after they’ve done their own makeup.

Thumbnail image for Two Look Test Shoots

Detroit Michigan Portfolio Photographers Mary DuPrie The image of Karolina above could be categorized as a test image.  Fairly simple, not much too it.  It shows an agency what a new model looks like.

So I’m still testing the raw sun light look and Andi was nice enough to drop by the studio to help out.  Andi did her own hair and makeup and she did a great job.  She obviously paid attention to Tammy Pore during our first shoot together.  This was Andi’s second shoot ever and she’s [...]

Thumbnail image for Showing Too Much
