STEP ONE

We will schedule a time to meet up and discuss what you would like to create. Whether it's dreaming up an image of your child walking on the moon or a series of images that depict a story of you, we will talk through the limitless possibilities. I want to create something that holds a significance and will mean as much to you as it does to me.

STEP TWO

I will assemble a pin board of inspiration for us to go over together and will encourage you to do the same. Once we lock in what you would like to create and the look we are going for, we will discuss the cost to make it. Each project is completely different and the variables differ greatly. Some projects are simple and easier to create while others are more complex and require sets, props, locations etc.

STEP THREE

After we agree on the costs we will schedule the shoot! Depending the scale of the project it may require a deposit to cover the costs of set's or locations. We will also get my hair and make up artist involved at this point so they can start showing us options for what they can do. To me this all about a collaboration between us to create something stunning together. I will also walk you through what the shoot will entail so you know exactly how it will work.

STEP FIVE

I create the final art. Again, this could be very quick and simple or for more complex depending on where we take it. For instance, if we are just cleaning up an image and coloring it, then the process is fast. If I am building a world for the art to live in, whether that is a graphic approach, painting additional elements or compositing multiple images together, then that will take longer. If the latter is chosen then I will show you development along the way to make sure you are as happy as I am with it.

 

STEP FOUR

WE SHOOT! Depending on what we are doing, the shoot could be very fast or take a full day. It all depends on what we are trying to bring to life. I will photograph way more than we ever could possibly use and will give you a high resolution digital copy of every shot from the shoot that it yours to keep.

STEP SIX

Once the artwork is fully approved and the costs are covered I will make the final print of your piece. The size will be determined by how big you want it to be. I can make archival prints up to 44 inches wide by an unlimited height. Basically, if your dream is to have a piece of art that is two stories high, I can make that happen. If your choice is to make something smaller, than that is quite easy as well. I will then deliver the final piece for you along with a thumb drive that contains the full shoot we made together.
