Photographic Portraits

A photographic portrait rendering works from the photograph you send and renders it with the qualities that make the medium specific: the depth of field, the fall of light, the clarity of a face seen through a lens. The result looks like a photograph composed and taken precisely for the purpose — not found, not candid, but considered. This style is particularly strong for portraits where the subject is vibrant or present: a person in good light, a pet in a moment of stillness, a child at the age you want to keep. The photographic portrait preserves what was there — it does not translate it into another medium but makes the best version of what the medium already is. The process begins with a photo you send. From that photo we compose a photographic portrait and show you a free preview in about a minute, before anything is printed. The preview shows you exactly how the piece will read as a framed print or canvas — at that size, in that format. If it reads correctly, we proceed. If it needs adjustment, that comes first. Final pieces are printed as a framed print, a matte canvas, or a stretched canvas, finished and ready to hang. The photographic style works particularly well on paper framed prints, where the surface lets the image carry its full tonal range. Sizes from 8 × 10 to statement proportions.
