Step 1: First contact

 

• Would you like to discuss a commission? How wonderful! It is best to get in touch me via this form , in which you can explain your wishes as specifically as possible.

 

• I will then ask you to send a handful of clear pictures of the person you wish to have a portrait made of. This is so that I can get a first impression and prepare for the photo shoot.

 

Step 2: Photo session (not necessary for small portraits)

 

• The photo session is an important part of the process. I have my own vision on composition and lighting, which will be characteristic to the end result. For that reason I always make the reference pictures myself.

 

• Further details such as location, clothing, hairstyle, etc., will be explained via email.

 

Step 3: Selecting the photo's

 

• After the photo session, I will provide you with edited photos that could be suitable. The final photo is then chosen in consultation between you and me. Please note that the photos are only a starting point and I maintain artistic freedom (within reason).

 

• If we agree to proceed with your commission, you are requested half of the total payment upfront.

 

• In case we unfortunately are unable to reach an agreement about the photo or other reasons the commission is cancelled. Only the photo session will be charged (€ 50, -).

 

• If you order a small portrait I will only need photo's that you provide yourself, given they are of decent quality and free of rights.

 

Step 4: Finishing

 

• Depending on your wishes, it is possible to have the commission framed, in which case a frame will be chosen in consultation.

 

Step 5: Payment and shipment

 

• You previously made an upfront payment of half the price. Now I will ask for the final payment, which includes any shipping and framing costs.

 

• The works will of course be carefully packaged and shipped with insurance.

 

• Picking up is of course also possible!
