Private Commissions

Your world, photographed.

A villa on the Amalfi coast. A yacht at anchor off St. Barth. The trip you've promised yourself for years. Photographed editorially — for you alone — and delivered as museum-grade prints for your walls.

A commission is not a photo shoot. It is a day — or a week — inside your own life, seen the way an editorial photographer sees a story: the light in the hallway of the hotel, the wind on deck, the espresso before anyone else is awake. You live it. I make it art.

Some pictures can't be taken later. The charter you finally booked, the milestone birthday somewhere beautiful, the season at the house by the sea — these deserve more than someone's phone. I travel with you or meet you there, work quietly around your days, and photograph you the way magazines photograph the people they find fascinating.

Portrait, beauty, and fashion work in black and white; a finished edition of museum-grade prints at the end. A limited number of commissions are taken each season so that every one gets everything.

How it works

From here to the wall.

The Conversation

Before anything else

You tell me who you are, where in the world, and what you want to feel when you see yourself. Private, unhurried, no forms that feel like forms — and this is where we walk through the day itself and how your finished artwork arrives.

The Day

The session

I come to you — your villa, your boat, your city — for a minimum of two hours, often the whole day, or several if that's what you've booked. Direction that feels like company, not choreography. Outdoor days build in room for weather, so nothing is left to chance.

The Edition

Something to keep

A private gallery to choose from, then archival prints — hand-framed, museum glass, scaled to your wall. Shipped and ready to be asked about.

For instance

A day might look like this.

Included, always

Arranged like a concierge.

No packages. No price list. Every commission is quoted privately, and a deposit reserves your date.

Who's in the frame

Room for two.

This isn't a couples or wedding package — it's the same private portraiture, extended to however many people belong in the frame. A partner, a parent, a close friend. Just say so when you enquire.

A note on companions

Bring the dog.

I'm a dog mom — it shows. If your best days include four paws, so should your photographs: the beach run, the nap on deck, the portrait with the pup leaning into your knee. Happily, always.

Discretion

Known faces welcome

Public figures and their teams — managers, publicists, security — are familiar territory. NDAs are standard fare, full-privacy commissions are available, and the first note can come from you or your people.

More than a day

Or take the whole week

Some commissions are a single session. Others are a week at the villa, photographed as it unfolds — not a shoot squeezed into an afternoon, but a quiet record of the days themselves. Either way, it's arranged around you.
