Meet Damion Fivenson.
Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Damion’s creative foundation began in traditional fine art—mastering light and form through pencil, charcoal, and watercolor. Moving to the United States sparked his transition into digital visual design, motion graphics, and high-impact brand campaigns.
Along the way, Damion delivered creative design for global brands including Apple, Google, and Samsung. What began as a 15-year passion evolved into full-time photography in 2020. Today, every Ann Arbor wedding photography commission, executive professional headshots session, empowering fine art boudoir photography experience, and logo & web design project at Aperture benefits from a decade of technical lighting precision, artistic composition, and a calm, genuine approach that puts every client instantly at ease.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about our studio setup, session pricing, advance booking timelines, and image delivery.
Where are you located and what areas do you serve?
Aperture is based out of Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, proudly serving the greater Washtenaw County region including Ann Arbor, Saline, Canton, Westland, Plymouth, and the entire Detroit Metro area.

How far in advance should I book?
For weddings, reaching out 9 to 12 months in advance is highly recommended, especially for peak Michigan wedding months (May through October). For standard studio sessions, family portraits, and professional headshots, booking 4 to 6 weeks ahead of your desired date is ideal.

Do you edit and retouch all of the photos?
Yes. Every delivered image undergoes professional color grading and careful retouching. We apply high-end processing techniques to refine lighting and correct color balance, ensuring a polished, professional finish while keeping skin tones natural and authentic.

Weddings & Large Events: Full digital galleries are delivered within 6 to 8 weeks, with a curated set of preview highlights provided within 24 to 72 hours.
