The Master Fine Art Commission Process

As a PPA Master Photographer, my approach is simple: Quality over quantity and dedication to excellence. Every commission adheres to the highest gallery standard, ensuring your finished portrait is an enduring work of art.

Crucially, every final image I produce is meticulously hand-painted in post-production. This intensive process elevates a photograph into a signature, collectible statement – Your very own conversation piece.

I offer three distinct pathways to acquiring your legacy portraiture:

  • 1. The Fine Art Portrait Collections: Classic, painterly portraits created in the Bespoke Studio.

  • 2. The Custom Masterpiece Commission: A tailored, high-concept creation involving complex compositing and extensive artistic labor.

  • 3. The Heirloom Art Commission: The transformation and artistic revival of your treasured, imperfect family photographs.

The session fee

Your experience begins with a required consultation — in person or by phone — to ensure our artistic vision for your legacy portrait fully aligns. This conversation is non-binding and simply helps us design the perfect session for you.

When you’re ready to move forward, the non-refundable Commissioning Fee reserves your place on my calendar and begins our creative partnership. In the studio, you’ll step into a thoughtfully guided experience using classical lighting and purposeful posing to create artwork with depth, emotion, and timeless beauty.

Following your session, we’ll meet for a private viewing and selection appointment where you’ll choose the portraits I will transform into your final hand-crafted pieces.

From concept to Hand-Embellished Giclée

The Custom Masterpiece Commission

Your Masterpiece journey begins with a required, non-binding consultation to scope your complex artistic vision. Once aligned, the non-refundable Creative Commission Fee of $1000 secures your exclusive time and initiates the design phase: I will brainstorm a concept and render a detailed sketch, welcoming your input.

Following design approval, we schedule your highly styled session in my Bespoke Portrait Studio to capture the core subject. After you select the primary photograph, I dedicate intensive hours to the Master’s Transformation, compositing all elements and hand-painting the piece to create a final, gallery-level work of art.

The Final Masterpiece is presented as a Hand-Embellished Giclée Canvas. Your total investment for the finished art, starting at a 20″x30″ canvas size, begins at $3,500.

From Memory to Museum-Quality Art

The Heirloom Art Commission

This commission is a dedicated artistic reimagining, transforming a treasured, imperfect family photograph into lasting, museum-quality art. This service focuses on preserving your history by applying my Master’s-level skill to go beyond restoration but compositing a final hand-painted conversation piece.

The Heirloom Art Commission Fee is the total investment for the finished, hand-painted digital art file and your final print.

Your investment for this specialized artwork begins at $1000, which includes a 11″x14 Fine Art Print ready for display.
