Welcome

Cory Marie Podielski is a photographer based in Detroit. Her photography is influenced by her time working in the Los Angeles fashion industry, living in the Appalachian mountains in rural Western North Carolina, and the city of Detroit.

Dramatic

I love a little drama. My photography often showcases pagentry, and glamour. I prefer a bold, colorful palette and often work with thematic concepts, costumes, and props.

Intimate

Trust, vulnerability, big dreams, deep feeling take photography to the next level.  I create enviroments where clients feel comfortable and can relax. Trust me a photographer to listen and collaborate to get the shots you want. 

Together

What brings us together? Holidays, festivals, performance, parties, hobbies, work, dance, music, friends, family. Whether you are in a band, want a family portrait, or need to capture a community gathering, I love to photograph stunning portraits of groups.

Emotive

The range of human emotions is vast. I find the little moments and the big moments that make photography magic. 

Editorial

Let’s tell a story. Do you have a unique concept? Love an era? or want to run with a theme? Let’s set the stage to make editorial magic through photography.

Eclectic

Let’s mix it up. By juxtaposing different colors, looks, shapes, poses, I love finding offbeat shots that make a scene shine.

Love

Oh l’amour! Capturing the deepest of human emotions is the best. You do not need to be partnered or getting married to express love. I believe love appears in many relationships.

Weddings

A wedding day is a wave of love, joy, ceremony, ecstasy, intimacy, and community. I am here to catch that wave with you. I specialize in vibrant true-to-life color with an editorial vibe.

Boudoir

Feeling frisky? I love decadence, role-playing, dress-up, lingerie, stockings, red lip stick, burlesque, & pin-up photography.

Weird

Splendor in my grass involves stains and getting dirty. I am a fan of irreverence & absurdity. Wild wonderful weirdos, you are my people. Let’s shoot!
