FAQ - People Portraiture Commissions
How do I submit the right reference photos for a portrait?
High-quality photos are the key to a beautiful portrait! We recommend clear, well-lit photos taken at eye-level with the subject. The more detail we can see, especially in the eyes, the more lifelike the final piece will be. You’ll use the Dropbox link we send you to upload your images after you place your order. Please use our guidelines for file format (.JPEG or .PNG), size (20MB max), and quantity (6 images max)
What kind of portrait commissions do you accept
We specialise in various types of custom people portraits, including individual portraits, couples portraits for engagement / anniversary gifts, and family portraits. Please specify the number of subjects and desired format (e.g., headshot, bust, full-body) in your inquiry for an accurate quote.
Can you Make a memorial portrait of a loved one from an old or low-quality photo?
We understand the importance of memorial pieces. While we prefer high-resolution images, we are skilled in working with older, sometimes faded or damaged, photographs. We can often use a combination of several photos to capture the likeness and spirit of the individual. This is a common request and we will discuss photo quality and feasibility during your consultation.
Do you require a deposit, and what payment options do you offer?
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking and to cover the cost of materials. The final balance is due upon your final approval of the completed artwork, prior to shipping. We offer secure online payment via our website for your convenience.
Can I commission a portrait as a gift for someone else?
A custom portrait is a deeply personal and thoughtful gift. We offer gift vouchers and can work with you to complete the project without the recipient’s knowledge. We will send all communications and updates to you so the surprise remains intact.
