How it Works

If you are interested in a portrait of yourself for yourself, please contact me directly at portraits@pepemorenostudio.com and send me some reference pictures that you think captures you the best. The higher the resolution and the clearer the picture, the better, but it’s okay if that magical picture is not the best resolution as I can pick it up from there for as long as I have other pictures to refer to. The cost of a portrait would range from $500 to $1000 depending on the amount of subjects and overall complexity. All reasonable, up for discussion and negotiable of course.

 

Here are the steps:

  • Make contact with me at the studio via email or telephone or fill up this form
  • Make an online deposit if you want to have it done soon or for a special occasion.
  • Send me some of the pictures that you like via email or mobile device or fill up this form
  • We’ll then discuss the merits and artistic preferences in the pictures and decide.
  • Make the standard deposit of $100 via the pepemorenostudio website.
  • When the portrait is done I’ll send previews and choices for prints.
  • When you decide you’ll complete the purchase and the prints are shipped to you.

If you want the portrait done by a certain time or for a special occasion you can make the deposit first online so that it can be booked ahead of time (click here to reserve). Your deposit is guaranteed and either you use it towards the total cost of your final portrait or get it back if you decide not to go forwards with it. I charge a minimum of $500 per portrait for an 18x24 single subject and with a reasonable amount of complexity. You get a master portrait print at whatever sizes choose and then $150 to $250 for each additional print depending on the sizes and the variations you choose. And as always I’ll be happy to hear your wishes and accommodate you in whatever way I can.

  • $500 for the basic 18 x 24 portrait and a print of your choice.
  • $150 for each additional print and including variations.
  • $600 for the basic 24 x 36 portrait and a print of your choice.
  • $250 for each additional print and including variations.
  • $700 for the basic 36 x 52 portrait and a print of your choice.
  • $350 for each additional print and including variations.

These are all very personalized portraits and every case is different, but If you want the emotional story to be a part of the portrait we’ll have to have an open and candid discussion about you and the things that are meaningful in your life. We’ll choose a base picture together taking into consideration what you like. Once we agree I’ll proceed to make the portrait and if you desire I’ll send you updates via email, mobile device or social networks until we arrive to a mutually satisfactory end.

This may all seem like quite a process for the hyper mobile age, but like all the best things in life, they take time... and that's precisely the intent. To take the time to capture the moment right and to do work at the highest level of craftsmanship to create something that you and your family will cherish for a life time and beyond.
