Flash Portraiture service for events!

Picture

Hello there!

I specialize in flash portraiture, creating quick, expressive illustrations that capture the energy and personality of your guests in the moment. Each portrait is a little keepsake—a memory of your event that feels both personal and playful.

Here’s how it works:
  1. Let’s Chat: We’ll start by discussing the details of your event—whether it’s a wedding, party, or corporate gathering—so I can understand your vision.
  2. The Set-Up: On the day of the event, I bring all the tools I need and set up in a spot where I can interact with your guests as they stop by for their portraits.
  3. Live Sketching: Throughout the event, I’ll create live illustrations of your guests, each one drawn in just a few minutes, ensuring it’s a fun and relaxed experience.
  4. A Special Keepsake: Guests walk away with a unique, hand-drawn portrait that captures their likeness and the spirit of the day.
Let’s create something unforgettable for your event!

The Live Portrait Experience
Each guest’s portrait is a personal, memorable experience. In just a few minutes, I create a hand-drawn illustration that captures their essence, complete with a custom typewritten name to make it truly special.
For individuals, I spend around 7 minutes per portrait, offering them a quick yet intimate moment as they watch their likeness take shape.
For couples, the process takes a little longer—about 10 minutes—as I capture the connection between them.
This translates to roughly 8 individual portraits or 6 couple portraits per hour, balancing speed with the care needed to ensure each one is unique and memorable.

Event Set-Up

  • I will arrive early to set up, with guidance from the host or planner to ensure everything is in place before guests arrive.
  • The area should have good, even lighting (no harsh shadows) and be mindful of moisture and temperature—warmer environments are preferred for my materials to work best.
  • A quiet space is ideal for focus, but I don't need complete isolation—a comfortable corner will do just fine!

What I Bring

  • Working surface
  • Two stools (for me and the guest)
  • Typewriter
  • Portrait kit: watercolor templates, paints, pens, and everything else I need to create beautiful portraits!
