THIS IS US

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 Detroit corporate photographers!

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!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

1 | Discuss Shoot Parameters

We’ll first have a conversation to go over the details of your project. Together we’ll make sure nothing is forgotten so that we may prepare an accurate proposal for your review.

2 | PROPOSAL SENT

You’ll receive a proposal specifying the who, what, when, and where details of the shoot along with an estimate of expenses. Info about our crew, and support staff are all included. Here’s your opportunity to learn how we’ll execute the project.

3 | Shoot date set

Next, we coordinate schedules for the location, your staff, our crew, and any talent needed for the project!

4 | SHOW TIME!

The day has arrived. Our crew will arrive on time and begin setting up for the shoot. If you’ve requested a make-up artist you will have received a “call time” for your staff for makeup. And we’re underway…

5 | Web gallery

After the shoot wraps, our staff gets to work on post-processing the images. Within 24 hours you’ll receive a link to your web gallery. Be sure to share it with everyone that needs to see the photos!

6 | electronic Image delivery

Within three to five days of ordering your final selects, you’ll receive a link so that you may download your images. Be sure to make a backup after downloading.

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, SMZ Marketing

I’ve worked with Blake on various occassions and each and every time, his professionalism, skill and results were top-notch. His personality and knowledge of the art of photography make him an absolute asset for corporate multimedia; he puts his subjects at ease and is simply great at working with people – even the high maintenance ones. Whether it was executive headshots, events or environmental photos, Blake always delivers an exceptional product. I highly recommend him for any photography needs and will absolute leverage him for my corporate photography projects in the future.

Beth Oates, Fifth Third Bank

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.

Cheryl Angelelli, Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan

It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.
