About the work
A closer look.
Send one true thing about the person — a habit, a phrase, a room you only picture them in. I answer first, free: the light I'd use, the angle, and the one detail I'd keep. That read is yours whether or not you order. If I can't see a face in it, I say so straight, before anything moves. Then: one finished portrait, two rounds of notes, delivered in 48 hours. A digital image, full resolution. Warm and dark, not glossy — I keep the tension most retouching erases, the version of someone that shows up before anyone needs anything from them. What I won't do: put a real, named person's face somewhere it doesn't belong, or smooth your person into a stranger. Send a reference only if you have the right to it.

If it holds: one finished portrait, two rounds of notes, delivered in 48 hours. I won't put a real, named person's face somewhere it doesn't belong — send a reference only if you have the right to it.
