Portraits
The Creation of a Full Color Portrait
The creation of a successful portrait is a collaborative process between me and my client. When I accept a commission, my goal is to create a stunning portrait, which is much more than just a good likeness. It is a revelation of the true spirit of the person. To create a successful portrait, I look for “the idea” that is exciting and inspirational to me. My artistry is about "how I see" and when possible, I prefer to do a photo shoot, which may entail more than one visit.
The commission is a commitment to trust my creative direction and my "ability to see" - to capture the right images in order to compose the portrait. When the final photos are chosen I present a preliminary composition for approval. When possible,
it can be helpful to do a color study, in my studio, which may require a sitting of
2-4 hours.
All photos are kept private.
