How does the process work?
What happens when you book a commission?
I will always aim to respond to emails and enquiries within 24-48 hours.
Firstly, I like to find out information about the work. We will discuss topics such as size and deadline for the commission. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have for me!
Secondly, the photograph to work from is selected. I produce my best work when there is more detail to work from. Usually, the best photographs are taken close to the subject with good focus. Sometimes, people have professional photographs taken of their pets, which would also work perfectly. I am happy to look through a variety of photos and select the option I believe is best to work from.
Before any work begins, I require a 50% non-refundable deposit, paid via bank transfer. This secures the work and locks it into my schedule.
I will keep you informed as to the progress of your commission, as well as send you a final photograph when the work is complete. I will then take the remaining 50% of the cost.
Your commission is then carefully packaged in a plastic film with mounting board, and sealed in an envelope. Enclosed in your envelope, you will also find proof of purchase, certification of the commission and business cards!
If you are local, we can arrange a pickup, or your work will be sent via Royal Mail. I will inform you of sending and postage proof.
Finally, you (or your intended recipient) enjoys your commission!
