Custom Couple Portrait from Your Photo
Two faces on one canvas have to share the light, the scale and the space between them. Pick the photograph where you both look like yourselves, whether it was taken on a trip, at an engagement or on an ordinary Sunday.
Keeping both likenesses equal
In many couple photos one person is sharper, closer to the lens or better lit. If that is your picture, say so and add a second photo of the other person at a similar angle. The artists then give both faces the same care, so neither one looks like a guest in the other’s portrait.
Moments people choose
A candid photograph often works better than a posed one: laughing, mid-sentence, a hand on a shoulder. Pick a moment you would be glad to see every morning. If the best expression of each of you is in a different shot, send both and explain which face belongs where.
Details for the brief
- Who stands on the left, and who is taller
- Whether to keep the setting or simplify it
- Clothes and hairstyle as they were that day
- A wide or upright format, depending on how close you stand
Changes to either face
Before the canvas is packed you can ask for changes to either face, as often as it takes. Revisions are unlimited on custom orders, so a likeness is adjusted until both of you recognise yourselves.
Two ways to turn your photographs into a painting
Request a faithful, neutral photo-to-painting reproduction, or ask the studio for a more expressive artistic interpretation. Both are hand-painted in oil on canvas.
Faithful photo reproduction
Faces, setting, colours and proportions remain close to your reference, without copying a famous painter's style.
Creative interpretation
Tell us the mood, palette and brushwork you prefer, and the studio will propose an artistic direction from your references.
Custom painting questions
Can you paint my photo faithfully without copying a famous artist's style?
Yes. Choose the faithful, neutral direction and the studio will preserve the people, setting, colours and proportions of your reference while translating it into a hand-painted oil painting.
Can I request a more artistic interpretation?
Yes. Choose the creative direction and describe the mood, palette and brushwork you want. Your quote confirms what is feasible before any painting begins.
Can you combine several photographs in one painting?
Yes. Several reference photographs can be combined into one coherent composition. Mention who or what must appear, the preferred background and any details that must not be changed.
Will I see the painting before it ships?
Yes. When your painting is finished, we send you a photo of it before it ships. If anything needs adjusting, we correct it before the painting is dispatched.
