Painterly Portraits for the 21st century sitter

Modern Tools – Classical Methods

A Bentley Portraits

is one of the most extraordinary portraits you and your family can own

Created within a carefully lit studio environment.

Renaissance & Baroque style portraiture created using 21st century techniques

My goal is to take the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Exquisitely detailed, my portraits impart deep, sharp contrast and provide a traditional artistic look with subtle luminosity, helping to display the realism of a photograph with rich creative enhancements.

👉 The goal of a portrait is to capture a person’s life essence.

👉 you the viewer must first focus on the subject’s face and eyes, then on their clothing and lastly, the background.

👉 My experience as a portrait studio allows me to understand what type of light achieves the best portrait results and therefore offers the highest level of customer satisfaction.

My mission is to create an elegant portrait that will last throughout your lifetime. It will be a gift that can be passed from generation to generation.

The final

There is a choice of finishes with a ‘Bentley Portrait’

You can commit our artists to further enhance the rendered canvas artwork with wet mediums that will add more depth to the final artwork, or choose to have the work sealed with a clear protective varnish or laminate that will help to protect your desired portrait in excess of 100 years
