About Me
Hi, I’m Franklin Lapinski
The Guy behind the Camera
Local Roots. Professional Results. Personal Touch. Hi, I’m Franklin Lapinski, the owner and photographer behind Lapinski Photography. Based right here in Michigan, I specialize in real estate and media production that helps homes, agents, and businesses stand out. From dynamic HDR photography and drone footage to full video walkthroughs and custom marketing kits, every project is built around one goal — showcasing your property in its best light.
​
I started Lapinski Photography with a simple idea: combine technical precision with genuine connection. Every home, every client, and every shoot is unique — and I make sure that comes through in the final product. Whether you’re a real estate agent preparing a new listing or a homeowner wanting to capture your space beautifully, you can expect clear communication, fast turnaround, and professional results that feel personal.
​
Beyond the camera, I believe in supporting local professionals and small businesses across Michigan. My approach is rooted in trust, reliability, and attention to detail — values that drive both my work and my relationships with clients. When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me on the golf course or editing the latest drone footage from a property I’m proud to showcase.
My Philosophy
I live by three simple words: Local. Professional. Personal.
​
-
Local means I care about the communities I serve. I know the neighborhoods, the light, and what buyers want to see.
-
Professional means showing up on time, communicating clearly, and delivering consistent, high-quality results — every time.
-
Personal means going beyond a transaction. It’s about earning your trust, building lasting relationships, and creating work that genuinely reflects your vision.
Beyond the Lens
When I’m not shooting or editing, I’m probably out on the golf course — my favorite time to slow down and reset. Golf, like photography, is all about focus and feel — you can’t rush it. That mindset carries into everything I do: patience, precision, and appreciation for every detail.
​
I also run VR Charity Tournaments organization, where I combine creativity and technology to produce immersive visual experiences. Whether it’s developing dynamic visuals, leading creative projects, or refining digital content, VRCT lets me push boundaries beyond traditional photography — bringing fresh, innovative perspectives to every project.
