Commissions

The Process:

Contact me for a quote

You can contact me through my website, email or social media with any questions. I am more than happy to discuss what you are looking for and what can be provided and advise on photographs.

Deposit and Booking

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at time of booking. Turnaround can vary depending on volume of commissions at the time. A deposit will secure a time slot for start and completion. You will be updated with process pictures once work has started.

Shipping

The package will be tracked and insured at the cost of the buyer. In the package you will receive a certificate of Authenticity and tips on how to care for your artwork.

Photo Guide:

Things to consider when choosing a photograph:
  1. Good Lighting – Was a flash used? Can you see a reflection in the subject’s eye? Are parts too bright to be seen? Is the subject too dark to be seen clearly? This is important for a good rendition of the subject
  2. Distance from the Camera – Are the proportions of the subject correct? Does the subject take up most of the picture and is clearly seen? Are any parts of the subject cut off?
  3. True Likeness – Is there a filter applied? Do the colours in the picture represent how they look in real life? Does the picture represent the animal/person well?
  4. Blurriness – Is the subject able to be seen clearly? Is the picture pixelated?

Loved Ones Who Have Passed On:

You may not have a great choice of pictures for those who have passed on. Please reach out to discuss this and your needs so that a beautiful work to celebrate the memory of a loved one can be created.
