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.

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.

We're looking for an intern!

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. Tell us where your interests lie in general. We want to know who you are and what you like. What would you like to get out of an internship?

Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you !

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 !

GARDEN • VISIT : Hunter Park Garden House & Allen Street Farmers Market

It has been feeling warmer and more spring-like here in Mid Michigan and all the possibilities of a life lived outside and under the sun fills the air! I feel like today is a good day to show you a little garden and market visit I did all the way back in July. 

Hunter Park Garden House is located in Lansing's East Side neighborhood. The area is a food desert but the Garden House provides a number of programs such as a CSA, educational workshops for kids and adults, and a variety of other programs that bring food awareness to the neighborhood. 

The Allen Street Farmers Market, held year round on every Wednesday is held nearby and features local farmers, bakers, food vendors, and makers! In fact, this was the very first farmers market I went to after moving into the city and made this new city feel a bit more like home. 

Enjoy!

The other day, I thought I'd do a hashtag search for #debbiecarlos to see if anyone took any pictures of the posters they purchased and look what popped up! 

Dang guys, you make my prints look good. 

Love seeing them in your homes! Thank you!
