About Custom Portraits: Your Story on Canvas

A practical heads-up: when commissioning a portrait, the quality of the reference photo matters more than you think. If you have a clear, high-resolution shot where the lighting highlights the subject's expression, that is exactly what I need to capture the character in your custom painting. If you are unsure which photo works best, just send a few options over WhatsApp and we can choose the one that will translate most beautifully to the canvas or paper.
