Downtown News Magazine is a quality publication mailed to homes in Birmingham, Bloomfield Township, and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It covers local life, business news, and important community issues through in-depth storytelling.

In the June 2025 Faces Feature, the magazine interviewed Meredith Fleischer, Founder and Director of The MF Gallery, about her photography journey. Fleischer studied Fine Art Photography at the College for Creative Studies and Cranbrook Academy of Art. After earning her master’s degree, she moved to New York City to follow her passion for photography and fashion.

In 2020, after facing personal challenges and a career shift, she founded The MF Gallery, an online platform and print shop focused on street photography, celebrity portraits, and music photography by both modern and contemporary fine art photographers. Fleischer aims to provide photographers with a way to showcase their work, enhance their reputations, and connect with audiences globally.

Some of her gallery’s acclaimed “must see” collections are internationally-renowned photographer Michael Grecco’s ”Days of Punk” – capturing the captivating ground-breaking 1980’s punk rock music icons; scenes from Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace – the legendary West Hollywood version of Studio 54 by Jim Frank; and Street Dogs – artfully celebrating canine charm and character. A ten percent charitable donation is made from the respective collections to MusiCares.org and ASPCA.org.

“It’s my ongoing goal to get photography the respect it deserves, like that of painting and other mediums,” she said.

“Stay tuned for events rolling out that are helping to grow the photography collective,” Fleischer said. “It’s something I will always be totally committed to.”
