ONLY PHOTOS YOU HAVE TAKEN YOURSELF

For copyright reasons, I do not accept photos taken by someone else (for example, a professional photographer) as part of a Collage Portrait. By ordering the Collage Portrait, you give permission to use and edit the photos you send. You retain the copyright to the original photos, but the artist owns the copyright to the finished work. In order to guarantee the protection of privacy, the works are named with invented names, if the work is publicly displayed online or in an exhibition.

IMAGE QUALITY

Send the photos (3-6 pieces) as large enough JPG, PNG or PDF files via the Ordering form. A scanned or good-quality photo taken in good lighting is suitable for older paper photos. Avoid blurry, shaky and dark photos.

IMAGE VERSITALITY

Diversity in the photos you send guarantees a more interesting end result. You can choose, for example, a face picture, a half picture and a full body picture.

DESCRIBE THE PERSON ACCURATELY

When describing a person, focus on personality: what is the person like, how would you describe them to a stranger? For example, the word lovely describes your general opinion of a person, but not the way in which they are lovely. Are they cheerful, humorous or helpful? 3-6 adjectives are enough, but you can also freely describe persons character.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT OR CHARACTERISTIC TO THEM?

If you want, you can also describe the person in a few short sentences. For example, she likes climbing, he loves nature or they is musical. The favorite colors and even the decoration taste provides me more details to work with. These descriptions give me information that I can use in building the work and creating the atmosphere.

SHOWCASING THE HISTORY

If showing the passage of time is important to you, choose pictures from different age periods: childhood, youth, adulthood and elderly days. Especially suitable for graduation and retirement gifts and anniversary works.
