Commissioned Art vs. Regular Photography

• A Regular Photographer:

📷 Captures and delivers images as “proofs” for clients to select from.

• A Commissioned Artist (Me!):

🎨 Creates finished artwork from the best images, skipping the proofing process.
I personally curate the most powerful images from our collaborative photography session, transmuting them into unique & powerful images for your Artist Presentation.

I Am a Commissioned Artist, Not Just a Photographer

My work is about transformation, self-discovery, and artistry. Your experience with me is more than just a photo session—it’s a collaborative journey toward seeing yourself in a new light.

Unlike traditional photographers who simply capture and present proofs, I am a commissioned artist. This means that I don’t just seize perfect moments in time—I intuitively craft custom, transformational art pieces through deep collaboration with you. I extract the extraordinary from the ordinary, uncovering the Art of Being You!

Each session is an invitation—to shed old perceptions, embrace your magnificence, and honor your soul’s reflection. Every presentation includes at least 8 finished art pieces, carefully curated to remind you of who you truly are.

Because this process requires deep presence, time, and artistic devotion, I request a deposit—a symbol of our mutual commitment to honoring your story through this medium.
