    Creation. At this point, the creation commences and this could be one single portrait session with you or your preferred subject, or it could be an entire process working through months of individual photo shoots, costuming, styling and more, to result in all of the elements needed to finish the concept identified in the consultation.

    Within creation is also the retouching and post production, where many days are spent carefully working on every inch of the piece to create something truly iconic. At the end of the creation, we’ll then move into…

    Step 4

    The Reveal. Here, we reconvene either in person or virtually, to reveal the pieces created within Step 3. Often this is the first time you will have seen the elements captured in Step 3 in a finished format.

    Step 5

    Here the artwork is passed to our printing partners in the North East or Italy, where they hand print, hand varnish, hand make and hand frame the artwork to our exacting standards on your request. They then package the piece and deliver it with great care to us, here in Yorkshire.

    Once we have checked the piece, we then deliver it to your door. Entries for the Client Spotlight Charity Draw happen here, so prepare for a selfie!

We pre-create stunning wall galleries so that you have perfection without the hassle of trying to work it out yourself.

    Individual files start at £84 and are available in mini-collections of 3, 5, or 10 files only.

I was very nervous to see the final photos and to see if Jessica had captured what I wanted and I quickly realised there was no need to be nervous. Coupled with a brew, we sat down and watched the slideshow, and instantly it brought tears to my eyes.
