Custom Still Life
Commissions
Bespoke work tailored to the place where it lives, weaving elements from its surroundings into the narrative of the piece itself.
How It Works
The Process
I. Initial Consultation
I’d love to create custom still life for your space. First, I’ll get all the details: the space where the piece will ultimately live, materials, color palette, composition, themes or specific elements you’d like to incorporate, as well as any of my existing work that you’d like to draw from.
II. Design & Concept
The nature of my work is highly seasonal as I work with perishable items like fresh flowers and produce; that in mind, I’ll do my best to recommend product that is at its peak. I source my flowers from local farms in GA and from growers all over the world:
no two flowers are the same, and those distinctions are part of the beauty of the work I create. I prefer to collect as many details before I begin, so that I have the freedom to make choices based on the product I have in front of me as I create your piece. I will provide a pdf with flower choices, colors, composition, and relevant inspiration based on our consultation.
III. Pricing & Deposit
Once the overall concept is approved, I’ll provide a detailed quote covering all materials, production, and printing. I require a 50% deposit up front to secure your commission in my schedule and begin ordering materials. .
IV. Production & Timeline
The timeline from sourcing materials to delivering the final piece takes roughly 6-8 weeks. Due to the nature of my work, I am not able to provide progress photos once I begin shooting—any substitutions or changes to the approved-upon concept due to product availability will be discussed before I begin to ensure we are aligned on expectations for the finished piece.
Once I’ve created and edited your piece, I will send jpegs for final approval before proofing the image for print. I will do my best to accommodate small adjustments to specific elements when possible, if needed; anything that requires me to reshoot will incur an additional cost.
V. Delivery
Upon printing your piece, I will package and ship your original photograph to you or arrange for local delivery. Unless discussed beforehand, each commission is a 1/1 original piece that will not be reprinted. I’ll provide tracking for all shipments and require the remainder of payment upon safe delivery.
