Detroit photographer Blake Discher specializes in people photography for leading editorial publications and Fortune 500 corporations for advertising and annual reports throughout the world.

Blake's fascination with photography began in the eighth grade and he's been hooked ever since. He unselfishly shares his knowledge with students and other photographers through his involvement with the American Society of Media Photographers, most recently as an educator in ASMP's successful "Strictly Business 2" conferences.

It's Blake's keen ability to make subjects feel at ease in front of the camera that takes him around the world to produce award-winning photographs for clients such as General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, American Airlines, and Oracle.

A professional photographer for 20 years, he shares his home with his wife Lesley and his four-year old son Blake. When not working he's usually tinkering with one of his British-made vintage Triumph automobiles. His work can be seen at www.fireflystudios.com. In addition, Blake's other company, www.go-seo.com, consults small businesses in search engine optimization.
