The subject changes. The process remains uncompromising.

Bespoke Photographic Artwork Commission

A considered lifestyle photography experience culminating in museum-quality, printed and framed artworks, professionally installed in your home.

While this page features one subject, the process is identical across all commissions.
What changes is the environment. The intention, craft, and installation remain constant.

Initial Consultation

Every commission begins with a private video consultation. This allows us to align on intent, scope, location, and how the final work will live within your space.


Planning & Site Assessment

Where appropriate, a site visit is conducted to assess light, environment, and wall placement. This informs both the photographic approach and the final presentation of the work.

The Photographic Session

The session takes place on location, wherever your life unfolds. There is no rush and no imposed structure. We work slowly and attentively, allowing genuine moments to emerge while focusing on creating images worthy of permanence.

Curation & Proofing

Following colour correction, the strongest images are carefully curated for print. Selected works are produced as physical proof prints and couriered to you for review and approval.

Framing Design

Once the final images are approved, mockups are created showing the artworks at scale, with a curated selection of frame styles appropriate to your space. Frame and presentation choices are confirmed before production.

Investment

Each commission begins with a bespoke photographic experience, encompassing concept development, planning, and the photographic creation itself.

Creative Experience Investment: From R24 500

Artwork Production & Installation

Selected artworks are produced as museum-quality archival prints and custom framed using premium materials. Upon completion, a dedicated date is arranged for professional white-glove installation in your home or chosen environment (terms and conditions apply).

As a reference, a 120 cm × 150 cm archival artwork with 97% non-reflective art glass and a handcrafted frame of your choice (excluding gold finishes) represents an artwork investment from R25 500.

Final Investment Considerations

Final investment is determined by:

  • The number and scale of artworks commissioned

  • Frame design and material selection

  • Installation requirements, location, and logistics

Travel and accommodation for location-based commissions are billed separately at cost plus 15%.

Typical Commission Range

Total investment range of R60 000 – R250 000, depending on scope and ambition

The subject varies. The process does not.
