RUSHED EXECUTIVES ARE THE TYPE WE REALLY IMPRESS. THEY APPRECIATE HOW WE GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT… EVERY TIME.

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT IN DETROIT
(AND ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER!)



THOROUGH PREPARATION

Fueled by my love of the craft of photography, my goal is to ensure that your experience with us goes as smoothly as possible. We do this by making certain we understand your needs and goals before we even pick up a camera. We’ll work with you to create a shot list and a ‘plan of action’ for the shoot. With attention to detail being the priority, my team and I work quickly and with minimal disruption to your place of business.



CHALLENGES? PFFFFFT!

You need visual assets and you’ll love how we tackle last minute ‘challenges’ If something goes wrong, we’re prepared: backup cameras and lighting, and backup patience! We show up ready for any eventuality. If requested, you can review images in real time. This immediate evaluation means adjustments can be made while we’re still on-site, not two days later when you see a web gallery and wish we could have, “moved that plant in the background slightly to the left.”

NON-DISRUPTIVE + FAST

We get that you have a business to run and it can’t stop for us. We work quickly and efficiently so as to minimally disrupt your operation. It’s the intangibles that make a difference: power cords are taped to the floor and light stands in traffic areas are delineated with bright yellow tape. We keep chatter to a minimum during set-up and tear-down. In short, we’re pro

WE’VE SEEN IT ALL!

I’ve photographed a diverse bunch of characters: from comedienne Phyllis Diller to President Bill Clinton to harried executives for annual reports, billboards, brochures, and corporate publications. My work can be found in leading editorial publications and in advertising and the annual reports of Fortune 500 corporations worldwide. So whether you need an industrial photographer or a creative corporate headshot, I can help!

IT’S MORE IMPORTANT TO CLICK WITH PEOPLE THAN TO CLICK THE SHUTTER.

[ALFRED EISENSTADT, PHOTOGRAPHER]

OUR CLIENTS SPEAK

Blake connects with people and gets the best of people to come out in his photos. It captures the real person instead of it being just a staged thing. He creates a comfort level that everyone enjoys. He makes the shoot enjoyable and makes it enjoyable for the subject who’s being photographed.

VICTOR SPIELES

Art Director, SMZ Marketing

Blake has been our photographer of choice for over 20 years. He is wonderful to work with and delivers quality work every single time. I especially appreciate his creativity, vision and attention to detail. Blake has a special connection with people and always puts our clients at ease during photo shoots to create beautiful and memorable images.

VP Marketing, Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan

Working with the Firefly Studios team was such a professional and relaxing experience. Our photography turned out great! Everyone in various departments were very happy with their photos. I wouldn’t want to work with any other photographer.
