Nowhere is this more true than Faro, Algarve's historical capital and cultural center, a town of great interest and the place I now regard as my home
The purist would argue that a really good image does not need any enhancement or "manipulation" and whilst I have no problem with that concept there are times when one image can only say so much.
Both my interest in photography and the endless possibilities of digital editing go beyond this potential limitation....
DIGITAL PORTRAITS
Digital rendering can really add extra character and expression to portrait photos by blending them with interesting textures and stylised graphics. Alternatively, creating "painted" effects are on the pallet of possibilities.
Unwanted blemishes can be easily removed with a little digital make up
Who doesn't love a painting
As well as other painting techniques like vibrant ink, soft pastel or oil paint, images can be converted to a whole range of water colours. Scroll through these samples for a taste of what can be achieved, from the soft to the bold

If you are interested in a unique artistic portrait for yourself, or maybe as a surprise for a friend, please drop me a line and let's start a conversation.
We can either meet up and I take my own shots, or images can be supplied for me to work with (as long as the quality and resolution are good enough).
A style or painting technique can be selected from those shown on this page, or other suggestions can be explored. Whatever is the starting point, no two portraits will ever follow exactly the same process. The finished work will always be as unique as the subject.
Where l can, l will charge an affordable price, based on the person's budget and the complexities of the commission. l don't charge by the hour.
HIGH DEFINITION
COMPUTER IMAGES
Unlike a conventional painting of a fixed size, the end result is a high resolution computer image that can be printed to any size, large or small on paper or other materials like canvas, wood, or even glass.
I will also supply a lower resolution image for personal use as a laptop screen shot, social media profile image etc.
l will retain the copywrite, of the original art, and this image cannot be used for any other purpose, sold, copied or distributed without my written permission
