Portraits from one clear reference photo

A single strong photo is often the best starting point for a custom portrait from photo because it keeps the expression, lighting and pose consistent.

Combining multiple reference photos

Separate references can sometimes be combined for couples, families or people-with-pet portraits if the angles and lighting are compatible.

Portrait gifts for occasions

Hand-painted portrait commissions are suited to birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, memorial keepsakes and personalised portrait gifts.

People-with-pet portraits

Portraits can include a person with a dog, cat or beloved pet when the reference has enough detail for both faces.

Size and price guidance

Portrait pricing starts from the commission guide and changes with size, number of faces, surface, background detail and deadline.
