The perfect scenario for beginning a commission would be my being able to meet, study and photograph the animals to be portrayed. The weather would be bright and clear and horses would be sporting their sleek and shiny summer coats.
Obviously this can be difficult, courtesy of the UK climate, horses with woolly coats and the time involved in travelling.
When it is impractical for me to see them in person, then I can usually work from photographs supplied by the client. I have available information sheets on how to photograph horses and dogs to the specifications I require, and will forward these on request.
If you wish me to work from images taken by a professional photographer, then under copyright law, you will need to acquire written authorisation from him or her before I can proceed.
The basic costs listed below include travelling only when the animals are local to me, or I am accommodating them within a journey, or there are several animals to photograph in the same area.
The photography is included.
Travelling expenses are met for overseas work.
Framing is additional, and I very much prefer to do this myself, or at least have some input into the choice if possible.
All postage, packaging and shipping is to be met by the client.
Prices for Pastel portraits begin at:
Cats £150 upwards
Dogs £195 upwards
Horses £295 upwards
Oils begin at £1,000 upwards
Jenny Lupton retains all copyright on all commissions and photographs.
Any reproduction whatsoever must have written authorisation.
If you are interested in an original portrait of your animal please contact me.
