Custom composites
where photography
meets fine art

While I’m a photographer, my process is closer to that of a painter. The photos we take are just the raw materials, like paint on a palette. Together, we’ll select one “hero” image that becomes the foundation of your final piece. Once we lock that choice, I start building the composite artwork, and changing the photo later would mean starting from scratch.

This is why your feedback during that initial selection is so important. After that stage, I’ll keep you updated as much (or as little) as you like; some clients enjoy being involved throughout, while others prefer to let me handle the details. Either way, the result is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind image made just for you.

Starting at $1500

PROCESS

  • A quick phone or Zoom chat to talk through your ideas and goals.

  • I create a concept or mood board for your approval

  • We capture the raw material and make the final hero-image selection together.

  • I craft the artwork and share proofs for adjustments like color or tone (not for swapping images).

  • High-resolution files are delivered within two weeks of the shoot. The finished image is yours alone.
