Fine art documentary photography portrait commissions

I photograph people who have stopped performing.

​

N​ot posed. Not arranged. Seen. The moment after the pose drops is the photograph worth keeping — and worth keeping means print.

How it works

One conversation. Before the camera comes out, we talk. Your rooms, your walls, who this portrait is of and why now. We design the finished piece first, then make the photograph that belongs in it.

 

One session. Slow, unhurried, built around you as you actually are. I wait. That's the job.

​

One reveal. You see your finished portraits for the first time in person, at scale, on your walls. You choose what stays. No online gallery sent home to die in an inbox.

​

One piece on your wall. Archival paper. Built to outlast every phone you'll ever own.

The investment

Your session fee reserves my time. Your print deposit is already yours — every dollar of it goes toward the piece you choose at your reveal.

Founding sessions are open. For the first eight clients starting this archive with me, the $95 fee books your date — in place of the standard $500 to $750 creative fee. You'll also get $200 off whatever collection you choose at your reveal. This isn't a separate, cheaper version of the work. It's the same one conversation, one session, one reveal every client gets. It's an introduction, not a shortcut. Eight sessions at this rate, all currently open. When they're gone, I'll say so here, and the standard fee takes over.​

 

Collections beyond the print credit are chosen and paid for only after you see the work. Two tiers: $1,500 to $2,000, and $2,500 to $5,000 and up.

​

This is not a mini session. This is fine art documentary photography, made slowly and intentionally. There is no gallery link. Digital files come home with a print, not instead of one. If you want forty images in a folder by Friday, I'm the wrong photographer — and I'd rather tell you here than at your kitchen table.
