The Portrait Session

with Christian Shenouda

 

Learn about the process of the portrait session here, along with the investment options available too.

  • Step 1

    Let Christian know you’re interested and tell him a little about the subject and your general location. After that…

  • Step 2

    He will complete a complimentary consultation with you to get an idea of your specific concepts. You’ll talk about shooting locations as well as dates before the next step…

  • Step 3

    Now we begin the creation process. Whether it’s one single portrait session with your subject, or multiple shoots that end with a finished concept discussed previously.

    Part of the creation process is photo retouching where many days are spent meticulously working on every aspect of the images to create a true work of art. After the creation process…

  • Step 4

    The Viewing Session. Here, we meet again either in person or virtually, to reveal what we’ve created in Step 3. This is usually the first time you’ll have seen everything from step 3 in it’s final format.

  • Step 5

    Here the artwork is passed to our printing partners in the UK, where they hand print, hand varnish, hand make and hand frame the artwork to our exacting standards per your request. They then package the pieces and deliver it with great care to me, here in Santa Monica.

    Once we’ve checked all the artwork, we then deliver it right to your door.

    Individual files start at $95 and are available in mini-collections of 3, 5, and 10 files only.

  • THE CANVAS TRAY FRAME

    Our gorgeous Canvas Tray Frame is left open without glass with a Matte Canvas Print sitting flush with the front of the solid wood frame for a beautifully minimalist feel.

    A shadow gap is left between the inside edge of the Tray Frame and the side of the canvas creating a more dramatic version of the negative space provided by a traditional mount. You also have the choice of a stunning Giclee varnish that protects the canvas from dust and scratches or leaving the canvas with a matte finish.

  • The Acrylic Print

    Our crystal clear, ultra-high clarity Acrylic Prints are the perfect choice for modern homes, galleries and workspaces. Acrylic Photo Prints make a fantastic alternative to traditionally framed products, with no frame around the image your photograph takes center stage. Clean, sleek edges and a high-gloss, contemporary finish are the hallmarks of this stunning product.

    Beautifully printed by our expert lab team and face-mounted edge-to-edge on laser cut, diamond polished 4mm thick acrylic. With a further 3mm highly durable Foamex backing the Acrylic Print is the perfect product for hanging within a modern environment whether at home or commercial, the combination of 4mm Acrylic and 3mm Foamex results in the ideal weighted product, substantial but far from overbearing. Hanging devices included along with stand offs allowing the product to appear floating from the wall.

  • THE CAMDEN ACRYLIC TRAY FRAME

    The open frame surrounds the image with a narrow gap between the solid wood frame and image creating the impression that it is levitating. The finishing involved gives us creative freedom to produce a stunning piece of gallery standard wall art. High-impact HD Acrylic is mounted onto archival board for timeless displays.

  • FINE ART TRAY FRAME

    A beautifully textured Fine Art Etch Print is hand coated with a protective giclee varnish protecting against UV and scratches whilst still retaining the sumptuous texture of the Hahnemuhle Fine Art Print, it is then mounted within a stunning tray frame leaving a gap around the edge creating the illusion that it is suspended within the frame.
