Custom metal portraits and photographs are a wonderful way to preserve your memories. Remember when a picture was something held in your hand, not flashed across a screen? Metal photographs are beautiful, tangible pieces of artwork based on your images. Just send a high quality digital file or printed photograph (returned with your completed order), and I will adjust as necessary to create a stunning piece of artwork just for you.

Getting started:
Just choose an image or two and email chris (at) copperleafstudios.net . Be sure to include any specific instructions, or leave it up to my artistic judgment, whatever you feel comfortable with! A Photoshop proof will be emailed to you within 1-2 days for your approval. Like what you see? You’ll be sent an invoice via Paypal, and your completed artwork will be ready within 1-2 weeks. Want to make any changes, just let me know! Finished pieces are carefully packaged and shipped via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days within the U.S.).
Helpful hints:
~ Clear images work best. Background texture can be distracting. When creating a portrait, the perfect picture for a metal photo is not the one you’d think! Often there is a hidden gem among your favorites that works perfectly. I encourage you to submit a few images, and I’ll be happy to help you choose the best one.
~ A tightly cropped image can make a stunning metal portrait. Some of my favorite portraits were created by cropping one individual from a larger family photograph. I’d be happy to help you crop an image to your liking.
~ Larger digital files are better, but not always available. What’s most important is having a picture that you treasure, so if you’re not sure, email me and we’ll try it out.
~ If a professional photographer took the photo, please be sure to ask permission to use the image.
