Detroit's #1-Rated Photographer

Same-day bookings available
Real work from a working Detroit studio — headshots, portraits, and branding sessions shot at the Bagley Mansion and across the city. Open any session to walk the full gallery.
What's Included
One Photographer, Every Time
Andrew Petrov shoots every session and hand-retouches every frame. No rotating shooters, no subcontractors.
Same-Day Delivery
You leave with your finished, retouched images in hand — most sessions turned around the same day.
Studio or On Location
A restored 1889 mansion studio, or we come to your office, event, or favorite Detroit backdrop.
A photographer, not a factory
Most studios rotate shooters and outsource the editing. Here, one person answers your email, stands behind the camera, and retouches every frame afterward — which is why the reviews read the way they do. You are not buying a package of files; you are buying the handful of images you actually love.
Book online in under a minute. Most sessions are same-day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of photographer is Detroit Photography?
A professional portrait and commercial photographer. The core is headshots and personal-branding work for professionals — lawyers, executives, founders, physicians — plus family and event coverage. Every session is shot by Andrew Petrov at the historic Bagley Mansion studio or on location, and hand-retouched afterward. We do not shoot weddings.
How much does a photographer cost in Detroit?
You pay only for the finished images you keep — not a package of files you will never use. In-studio is $149 for your first image and $99 for each after; on location it is $299 for the first and $149 for each after. No session fee, no hourly minimum. Event coverage is billed by the hour at $299.
How soon can I book, and how fast do I get my photos?
Same-day appointments are often available, and you can book online in under a minute. Most sessions are delivered the same day — you review the images on a large screen as we shoot, choose the ones you love, and leave with the finished, retouched files.
What makes you the top-rated photographer in Detroit?
Two things: one photographer on every job, and hand-retouching on every image. The result is 250+ five-star reviews and a five-star rating. The person who answers your questions is the person behind the camera and the one editing your photos afterward.
Where are you located?
Our studio is at the John N. Bagley House, 2921 E Jefferson Ave, Detroit — a restored 1889 mansion on the National Register of Historic Places. For on-location work we cover metro Detroit, from downtown offices to Belle Isle.
