I will consider working from studies and preparatory photographs. This is decided on a case-by-case basis.Source of Reference Photography. It is important to understand, that, I do not work from photographs other than those shot by myself. The way I photograph is guided by my sensitivities as a painter. Photography fees In principle, I do not charge anything extra for the photo session, as that is part of the commission. If however the portrait commission is terminated, and my client wants the photographs, a fee of $75 is to be paid for time and materials, and the photographs will be delivered on a CD.
