This exclusive Fine Art Portrait Package is designed to reveal the true essence of a person’s unique personality and character. Through an intimate close-up of their face, we capture striking, soulful expressions that allow viewers to peer into the very soul of the subject. The genuine and relaxed atmosphere of the session ensures that every detail—down to the subtlest expressions—reflects the person’s true self.
Photographed using a modern version of the historic Petzval lens, modeled after the revolutionary optic first produced in 1840, this lens lends a distinctive and ethereal quality to each portrait. The manual lens requires expert craftsmanship to achieve precise sharpness in areas of importance while rendering the background with a soft, swirling bokeh, creating a dreamlike effect. This delicate balance between sharp detail and artistic softness makes each portrait a timeless work of art.
Your portrait will be meticulously processed in black and white to further emphasize its timeless elegance. The monochrome finish heightens the mood and emotion captured in the image, transforming the photograph into a fine art piece that resonates with depth and character.
The final artwork is printed on high-quality acrylic, creating a striking display that is not only a beautiful portrait but also a unique conversation piece for your home. This fine art portrait will be a showstopper for family and guests, cherished for years to come.
To give an even deeper glimpse into their essence, this fine art package includes three 5×5 monochrome prints. These prints will showcase the different expressions that Steven will capture that show authentic emotions, from playful to thoughtful, and sometimes bored!
Step 1: The Consultation
Once you book your session we will discuss what you can expect. I’ll answer any questions you have and make sure you understand the whole process. If you’re not sure about booking a session without speaking to me first, please feel free to call.
Step 2: The Photoshoot
Enjoy a fun and easy going session in the studio. No pressure here, I promise! For some I will work quickly, many times capturing the perfect expression within minutes. Others require more interaction and engagement. Regardless I will take the time needed to capture your true essence!
Refreshments and snacks will be available along with comfortable seating for the rest of the family.
Step 3: The Reveal
