How we make a portrait

Designed by us. Painted by AI. Three steps before press.

The process

Three steps before press.

Every portrait runs through three steps before it leaves the studio.

The first renders your photo inside the catalog study you picked. The composition, palette, and brushwork are already designed; only the faces are yours.

The second is a cleanup pass — most AI portrait shops skip it. Signatures, watermarks, the small generative artifacts that survive the first render. We strip them.

The third is a 6× upscale to print-grade resolution.

It adds time. It adds cost. We don't ship the first draft.
