Overview
A portrait that supports your practice.
Portraits for painters, makers, and visual artists who want work that feels authored, not generic.
Your work already has a visual language. A portrait should sit beside it, not compete with it or look like stock art-fair photography.
We talk about how much studio, texture, and wardrobe should appear so the frame supports your practice rather than overshadowing it.
Many artists prefer quiet sessions with long pauses; we pace accordingly and never treat silence as wasted time.
Grant and exhibition deadlines are common; forward any resolution requirements from curators before session day.

Our approach
Personality without overpowering the work.
We can keep backgrounds minimal or introduce subtle studio texture that echoes your materials without literal props.
Hands, tools, and process shots are available if you want the portrait to reference how you actually make work.
The session
Authored, not directed into a cliché.
You choose how much direction you want. Some artists want precise chin marks; others want a loose documentary feel in studio.
We review frames together on screen when helpful so you can steer toward honesty early.
Delivery
Portfolio, press, and exhibition use.
Files are delivered ready for gallery statements, grant applications, and press releases with retouching that keeps skin and fabric real.
Ask for TIFF exports if a curator needs print-ready files; we note that on your booking.
Book
Artist portrait bookings.
Studio floors are protected for paint and dust, but tell us if you are bringing pigments or tools that need cover.
Quiet sessions with minimal direction are available when you say that upfront.

FAQ
Artist portraits: common questions.
Session length, preparation, and delivery.
Yes when scale and lighting allow. We avoid glare on paintings and respect fragility of objects you bring.
Very common among artists. We shorten bursts, lengthen breaks, and keep direction optional until you ask for it.
We shoot in colour and can deliver monochrome masters if your press kit requires them. Mention it before the session.
Resolution follows your package. Large print needs are discussed at booking so we shoot with enough detail for your intended size.
