Individual portraits
One person, done properly. For the site, the book jacket, the keynote slide, the announcement. We plan the session around where the portrait has to work, and then I make it work there.

Start with where it's going
A portrait for a keynote slide is not the same picture as one for a book jacket. We start with the use and work back to the light, the place and the frame.
In your world
The office, the workshop, the room the work happens in. A portrait made where you actually are says more than one made against a gray wall, and it's the one people remember.
Or against nothing
Sometimes the job wants the person and nothing else. A clean ground, one light, and the face doing all the work. I do those too.
What you get
A short set of retouched frames chosen with you, at full resolution, with a license that covers wherever you need to use them.
Questions I get
Where do we do it?
Wherever the portrait is going to be used from. Your office, a room that says something about the work, or a studio setup I bring with me. The location is part of the picture, so we choose it together.
How long is a session?
An hour or two. Long enough to get past the first ten minutes, which is when a portrait starts to look like the person.
How many pictures do I get?
A short set of retouched frames, chosen with you, rather than a gallery of a hundred to sort through. Usually three to six.
Can it be more than a portrait?
Yes. A speaker needs a frame for the slide and one for the program. A founder needs one for the announcement and one for the site. We plan the set around where it's going.
What does it cost?
By the session. Tell me what it's for and I'll send the number.
