Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

Is it proper jurisdiction to sue a photographer in a district court where the photographer has shot photos but does not reside? For instance, if a photographer's business is in Flint, but he takes photos all over the state of Michigan, and even internationally, is the photographer able to be sued in any of these places?
