in addition to the unique quality of their portraits, is in part why the women believe they have been successful. "There is a different quality about buying por- traits as opposed to art- work," Ms. Yaker said. "There is an urgency. People are beginning to realize photography of one's children is not so much a luxury as other art forms." Specialization was key for Beth Singer. Backed with a fine arts degree, Ms. Singer has made her mark on the scene as a commercial photographer, concentrat- ing on composition, line, movement, balance and light in architecture and interiors. "Architecture is part of fine art. Photographing it is merely the continua- tion," Ms. Singer said. Ms. Singer chose to pho- tograph places because she was never comfortable within a studio or any four walls upon a regular basis. In photographing sites, Ms. Singer found a whole new set of chal- lenges each time the scenery changed. When Ms. Singer gradu- ated from Eastern Michigan University more than 15 years ago, she had one goal in mind — actu- ally making a living with her camera. Knowing the reality of talented, yet unemployed, artists, Ms. Singer was determined to set herself apart and chose architecture as her specialty. "I control the space in architecture. That's why I went into this type of work as opposed to sports or news photography," Ms. Singer said. Accepting assignments with smaller firms first, Ms. Singer has built an impressive list of clients — Pella Windows, the Prudential Town Center — and boasts work in Detroit Monthly, Style, Home Ideas, and Builder Magazine. Timing, Ms. Singer believes, was important too. When she began her work, only a handful of photographers were work- ing the architectural angle of commercial photogra- phy. No longer is that the case. "It's harder now. You constantly have to be mar- keting yourself," Ms. Singer said.' ❑ Ask any dealer to match this list.
