PORTRAIT STUDIO TORONTO

Private portrait commissions in Yorkville, Toronto

Portrait artist Jérôme Scullino welcomes individuals, couples and families from across Toronto and the GTA for private portrait commissions at his photo studio in Yorkville. Selected portraits are completed as framed monochrome portraiture or original mixed-media artwork, created to live with your family for generations.

A Portrait Commission at the JÉRÔME Photo Studio in Toronto

Whether it is a family portrait commission, a couple's portrait or an individual sitting, the starting point is the same. It is not a pose or a style. It is who matters, how you are connected and why you want to make the portrait.

Jérôme guides the session from beginning to end, paying attention to expression, gesture and the familiarity between you. In fact, posing becomes unnecessary when what is already beautiful is allowed to be seen.

The portraits are shown at a private same-day viewing in the studio. You select the portraits you want to live with and consider how they may be completed as framed monochrome portraiture or original mixed-media artwork for your home.

From Portrait Photography to Finished Artwork

There is a moment in every commission when the portraits move from something seen on the screen to something imagined in physical form. From there, the question becomes how the selected portraits should be completed—as framed monochrome portraiture, a bound collection or an original mixed-media artwork. For families seeking fine art family portraits in Toronto, monochrome portraiture is the most timeless place to begin.

Framed Monochrome Portraiture

A monochrome portrait remains entirely photographic. Jérôme prints each selected portrait with pigment inks on cotton rag, then completes it as a framed work or bound collection.

Original Mixed-Media Artwork

An original mixed-media artwork begins with a JÉRÔME original portrait. Nisha brings it into physical form through pigment, oil and beeswax, working the surface by hand. Each finished artwork is one of a kind.

Planning Your Toronto Portrait Session

Allow approximately two hours for the complete studio appointment, including the portrait session, a short pause and the private viewing.

Before the appointment, Jérôme will ask you to consider who should be included and what you want the portrait to preserve. If you are considering artwork for a particular wall, measurements and a simple phone photograph of the room are useful.

If you are considering a fine art portrait commission in Toronto, begin with a conversation. You can ask questions, discuss who should be included and understand the experience before choosing a date.
