A Portrait of More Than Appearance
Story Portrait Studio creates bespoke portraits and original poetry around the people, animals, relationships and occasions that matter to you. A childhood adventure, an eighteenth birthday, a parent’s life story or the bond with a much-loved companion can each become a personal piece of art to keep or give.
Your brief leads the creative direction. We work from photographs, memories, interests and meaningful details to build a composition that feels individual to its subject. Our examples illustrate the breadth of possibilities; every commission is developed around its own story.
The visual approach can range from expressive, cartoon-like storybook characters to photorealistic people and settings. We agree the mood, style and degree of imagination with you before developing the portrait and poem.
A collaborative creative team
Our talented team of writers, designers and production specialists works together to create unique pieces of art around each client’s commission brief. Your photographs, memories, ideas and specifications guide the work from the first conversation to the finished piece.
Writers shape the story and poem, designers develop the imagery and composition, and production specialists prepare the approved artwork for fine art printing and framing. Each discipline contributes to a thoughtful, personal result, with your feedback helping to shape the work along the way.
