Portrait commission

A portrait can be commissioned from a photograph or from life. The process starts with discussing the image, composition, size and desired character of the portrait.

Who it is for

  • as an anniversary gift
  • for a representative interior
  • for work from modern or archive photographs

  1. You provide photographs or discuss working from life.
  2. Image, composition, size and mood are agreed.
  3. Background and additional details are chosen if needed.
