The portrait process begins with a meeting between the subject and the artist. The basic composition, size of canvas, pose, tone, lighting, clothing and background are all considered mutually. Artist will take many digital photographs between a couple of hours. The photographs are analysed and the final decision is made regarding making of a portrait. If necessary, additional photographs can be taken at second shoot.
