New House and Studio Tours Sneak Peek!

This summer I've been all over this great state of Michigan shooting the homes, workspaces and neighborhoods of people doing awesome things. An inspiring young lady curating and doing great things in Grand Rapids, two guys roasting coffee in Lansing, and someone bringing beautiful things and interesting people to Detroit. 

Here is a little sneak peek of a peek into their lives.

Seductor

I was in SF last week and stopped by the Conversatory of Flowers. It was definitely one of the top conservatories I had ever been to with an amazing collection of plants. I am currently obsessed with Anthuriums and they did not disappoint.

Its that time again! We are looking for a cool person to come by and help us around the studio!

Interested? Can't wait to hear from you!
Know someone who is? Please pass this on!

================================================================

We are looking for a new intern to work with us in our Lansing, Michigan photo studio based out of my home. I am a photographer working in fine art, interiors, and food. I also run a successful webshop where I sell posters, prints, and paper goods. My work has been featured on tv, been used on film sets, and has been written about in various print and online magazines. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with Urban Outfitters, J.Crew and CB2.

You will learn what it is like to be an artist, how to make a living off of your art, as well as the ins and outs of running a small photo studio, and a small business. You will be working directly with me and/or my assistant.

You can find my work here: http://debbiecarlos.com
& my online shop here: http://store.debbiecarlos.com


Internship duties may include any of the following:

- Prepping, fulfilling poster & print orders and other tasks that have to do with the online store.
- Photo assisting on shoots in studio or on location.
- Prepping for exhibitions and art sales.
- You may also be asked to help on projects in other mediums other than photo.
- Running errands.
- General studio clean up and organization.



What we are looking for:

- Must be able to work at minimum 4-5 hours a week. Each week is different so depending on the workload, I may ask you to work more than the minimum requirement.
- Good communication skills, able to listen and take direction. You will be handling prints, so candidate must be careful and attentive.
- Own a laptop and would be able to bring it to the studio.
- Knowledge of Photoshop or Lightroom. Must have one of these programs on their laptop.
- Punctuality.
- I am always looking to collaborate and learn from people I work with, so knowledge of art history, contemporary art and design is a plus.
- Knowledge and experience with social media also a plus.
- Someone with a visual art background preferred.

* One position available. This position is unpaid but school credit may be given. Duration of internship is open-ended but must be able to devote a minimum of 5 months to internship.

To be considered, please email me at debbie.carlos@gmail.com a small selection from your portfolio, a resume/CV and a cover letter telling us why you would like to work with us.

Tropical Fruit Play



Last month, my friend Julio was gearing up to open his super cool vintage shop Solid State Vintage in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. He commissioned me to make some fruit images to sell as a limited run color posters for the store! I went and bought all the tropical fruit I could find in Mid-Michigan and this is what I came up with. 

Art Walk in Pilsen is TONIGHT! 

Go check it out and see and snag one of these prints and some killer vintage pieces !
