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? These copper and zinc 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 crop and adjust as necessary to create a stunning piece of artwork just for you.
Getting started:
Just choose an image or two, decide whether you’d like a copper or zinc (silver) background, and email chris (at) copperleafstudios.net . Be sure to include any cropping instructions, or leave it up to my artistic judgment, whatever you feel comfortable with! A Photoshop sketch 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 two weeks. Want to make any changes to the sketch, just let me know! Finished pieces are carefully packaged and shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
Helpful hints:
~ Clear images work best. Background texture can be distracting. Sometimes 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.
