Getting
started:
Contact
Bob directly and describe the project in which you've been
thinking about. After gaining an understanding of the scope
of your thoughts and some concepts for possible project
execution, the first order of business is acquiring reference
photography of the subject. In cases where acceptable, high-resolution
photography exists, planning for the commemorative can begin
without delay. Otherwise, arrangements will be made to obtain
current reference photography.
Following
review of all photographic images and thorough discussion
regarding concept and execution - including details about
builder and ownership histories - project completion, on
average, can be expected within eight to twelve weeks. This
would not include unforeseen delay caused by special circumstances,
framing or shipping. While dimensions vary, framed sizes
usually average 24" X 32" (61cm X 81cm).

Pricing:
Pricing varies based on subject,
logistics for reference photography, format style and individual
objectives.
Estimates
are provided without obligation.
As
a general rule, the single image scenic format for a yacht
or ship portrait starts at $4,500. Muliple image studies
can range from $5,500 to $8,500. If suitable photography
of your boat already exists, pricing may be reduced accordingly.
Aircraft and motorcar portraits generally range from $2,500
to $4,500. Final costs will be reviewed before work on the
project begins.

Archive
digital files and limited edition prints:
Many of
Bob's clients also request production of high resolution scans
of the final portrait to be used for additional archival pigment
prints on paper or canvas. This is an ideal way to share a
treasured classic yacht portrait with family and friends or
in additional locations -- such as a second home or office.
