Creative Themed Portraits

Portraits don't always have to play it safe.

Creative themed sessions are for ideas that deserve more than a standard background. Costumes, characters, dramatic concepts and unusual styling can become finished portraits with their own atmosphere and story.

Concept-driven photography

Start with an idea. Build the portrait around it.

Themed photography gives us room to move beyond a traditional portrait session. A concept may begin with a costume, character, era, hobby or visual idea. We then plan the setting, posing and overall look around that concept.

Concept

Bring us the starting point.

You can come with a developed idea or simply something you're interested in. We'll discuss how it might translate into a portrait.

Wardrobe

Make clothing part of the story.

Costumes, unusual clothing and carefully selected wardrobe can help establish the character or mood of the session.

Atmosphere

Use light and setting intentionally.

The background and lighting can be quieter or more dramatic depending on what the finished portrait needs.

Finished Portrait

Create something worth displaying.

The goal isn't simply to document the costume or idea. It's to create a finished portrait that works as an image on its own.

Creative Session Pricing

Have a concept you'd like to create?

Creative sessions are priced according to the concept and planning involved. Tell me what you're envisioning and I'll provide current options and pricing.

Tell Me About Your Idea

Your idea doesn't have to fit a category

Sometimes the unusual idea is the best place to start.

Tell us what you're thinking about. We'll discuss the concept and whether Artistic Flaire is the right place to create it.
