PORTRAITS
(scroll down)
What you get:
1. I prefer to sell photographs rather than giclees, inkjets, laser prints, lithographs or posters. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but that's the way I like it. I may exhibit giclees for museum or gallery presentation, but not for sale. Besides, photographs don't cost you, the client, any more than giclees anyway.
2. I come to you.* My photography equipment is completely portable, so I'll come to you and we'll visit briefly so I can get an understanding of your relationship to your chosen object. Once I understand why you hold this item dear, I can take your portraits (both the black and white and the color portrait).
3. I deliver the finished work to you.*
4. One black and white photograph measuring 15" x 20."
5. One color photograph measuring 4" x 6."
6. One descriptive statement of approximately 100 words, explaining your relationship to your chosen object or objects.
7. Professionally framing* as shown below, in an elegant contemporary black frame, with white matte.
Note: Each portrait is a one-of-a-kind. That means I will never as long as I live print another one that conforms to the above dimensions with the statement, framed as mentioned. I will attach, sign and date a certificate of authenticity stating so. I will exhibit these works of art throughout my lifetime in different incarnations, in different formats, in different dimensions, but never again like the work you purchase. Yours will be an exclusive "limited edition" of exactly 1.

We all have things we hold dear. Maybe it's an heirloom or keepsake. Maybe it's an award, prize or trophy earned. Maybe it's a treasure kept from childhood. Our world is full of things that we feel touch our hearts and mean more to us than the mere physical objects themselves. Some of us look at the world in more abstract terms, and turn away from worldly things. We hold onto ideas and concepts, or principles and morals. Your descriptive statement can tell everyone who or what you are, or how you see yourself. Maybe your dear thing just makes you think about your life. Even if that dear thing is another person's hands, or simply concepts written on scraps of paper, there's nothing wrong with that. That's who you are. Celebrate it. Think about what makes you who you are. Some physical evidence will likely come to mind that you'd like recognized in a fine art portrait. |

Some Suggestions:
Tools of your trade, items that define your work Keepsakes Heirlooms Baby items Hobbies Passions Faith-based items Things from weddings, honeymoons or marriage Symbols Remembrances Icons Trophies or awards Other people's hands, depending on how they work with yours Just about anything that you hold dear, that will fit in your hands. If it won't fit in your hands, Don't worry. Maybe we can find something that represents that item or symbolizes it. For instance, I love my car, but that won't work, so maybe my car keys would look good, or something I hang from my rearview mirror, etc. in the black and white photo, and my color photo could see me sitting behind the wheel. Be creative, and treat yourself to some art. |
