Commission a graffiti style portrait or picture

Follow these steps to commission a bespoke interesting contemporary style picture from your photograph.

Step 1: Selecting a photograph

A good photograph will focus on the subject, for a portrait the person should fill most of the shot. The light should come from a single source, for example: photographs taken outside, photos taken indoors with light from a window or a single lightbulb. Photographs taken with a flash will not make good pictures as this style of picture relies on shadows. Professional studio photographs will allow you to choose any style available. Outdoor photographs with lots of detail will need to be quite large pictures. Select a few photographs that would be suitable and ask the artist for comment on which will be the best.

Step 2: Choosing a style

Look through the pictures on this site and choose one you like. Look at the original photograph to make sure your photograph is similar - this is a good indicator to tell you if the style you would like is suited to your photograph.

Step 3: Contacting the artist

Call the artist to discuss photographs, styles and pricing options. You will need to email or post your original photographs to the contact on the right.

Step 4: Finalizing the style and size

The artist will prepare and email you a sample of what the final picture may look like. You will be able to request different sample styles. The cost of the commission will depend on the size and style selected so the final pricing will only be given when the style and size has been finalized.

Step 5: Taking delivery of your new picture

Pictures can be collected from South London, UK, or they can be sent by post. Pictures sent by post will be removed from stretchers and rolled. The artist does not frame pictures.
