Real photographs. Not AI headshots.
AI headshot tools generate a face from your selfies in a few minutes. The result comes close, but it is not you—the jaw shifts, the hands come out wrong, the expression is one you have never worn. Recruiters and clients notice.
Every image we make is a real photograph. You sit for a professional headshot at the historic Bagley Mansion, you watch the frames on a large monitor as we shoot, and a real photographer retouches each file by hand. What goes on your LinkedIn is your face, on your best day.

Not just a studio, but a destination
Detroit Photography occupies the master suite at the historic John N. Bagley House, one of Detroit's oldest and most prestigious historic homes. Constructed in 1889 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Bagley Mansion is among the finest examples of the Romanesque Revival and French Renaissance architectural styles in Detroit.
The entirety of Suite 101, formerly the living room of the historic mansion located at the base of the tower, is available for photography during business hours. The room features a set of massive bay windows and a carved master fireplace. The historic paneled staircase and landing, as well as the downstairs stained glass window, are available for photography after 5 p.m. and all day Sunday.
The mansion is one of 550+ Detroit landmarks in our architecture portfolio.
