Detroit Institute of Arts - Detroit, MI
The museum's iconic exterior, adorned with classical and modern elements, provides a stunning backdrop. One of the main reason I really love shooting here is the way my subjects pop in front of the white marble. Another perk to shooting here, is we can cross the street and be at the Detroit Public Library which also provides a captivating scenery. Best places for photos in Metro Detroit
Fisher Building & Cadillac Place - Detroit, MI
The Fisher Building is hands down one of my favorite buildings to shoot in in Metro Detroit and it is actually one of the only ones that will allow public professional photography without a permit. The Art Deco elegance and intricate detailing provides a beautiful and sophisticated backdrop whether it is for a wedding party, couples session or family photos.

CCS Tunnels - Detroit, MI
I think the CCS tunnels are an iconic spot for a photo session because of the bold color. There's just somethng about this color and texture in the these tunnels that just make the pictures so fun and so beautiful at the same time.

Z Lot Roof & Millender Center Roof - Downtown Detroit
Last, but defidently not least, are my two favorites rooftops in Detroit. If you really want to capture the essence and beauty the city has to offer in your photos, one of these rooftops will do the job. Z Lot does not offer as much of the city skyline as Millender, but Z Lot makes up for it with its beautiful and bold colors throughout the lot. Both are special and unique in their own rights, and will make a great backdrop for any photo session.
