COMMISSIONING
If you are interested in commissioning a portrait, please use the contact form at the bottom of the home page. An initial meeting at mutual convenience can then be arranged, either in person or via Zoom.
The process begins with discussing expectations, who the sitter is, what size is it to be and also potential costings. Once these factors are established Alastair wil arrange a location visit and begin taking photographs in order to put forward composition ideas. Alastair likes to work from life when possible whilst also making use of photography to reduce sitting times. He will usually travel to the sitters location and has worked nationally and internationally.
If you are new to commissioning a portrait here are a few points to consider:
WHO?
Are you/they comfortable with the concept of being painted and do you/they have time to sit and be painted? It is also worth considering what you/they would like to wear!
WHY?
Is the portait to commemorate a certain event? If it is, is there a specific date in mind for completion?
WHERE?
Where will the portrait be painted? The location often dictates any background. Also, where will the portait be hung upon completion. Wall space may impact size, also bear in mind framing as that will add to the finished dimensions.
The two galleries below covering backgrounds and faces may help when it comes to visualising your potential portrait.
