Commissions

I undertake commissions based on customers own photographs of their houses and gardens or a favourite scene. Prices start at £300
Or if you prefer, I will visit the location and take photographs

Discussions start with a selection of photographs and their suitability and then move on to sizes, prices, mounts, frames and the time scale involved all designed to give the client what they want

Email or post a photograph to me and I will give you a quote

'it's a beautiful piece of work and my wife was delighted with her present - it's only when one sees your work 'in the flesh' that one can appreciate the 3D effect of the technique. Many thanks.'
