Illustration by Frank

Likeness work for profiles, covers and campaigns.


An illustrated portrait does what a photograph cannot. It can take a position on its subject, and it can run where no photograph exists.

Our portrait artists work from realist likeness through to heavily stylised.

What it suits

Profile pieces and interviews. Obituaries and retrospectives. Covers featuring a named subject. Author and speaker portraits.

How it works

Send reference, the format and the deadline. We come back with two or three artists. We handle contracts and licensing.

Reference

Good portraits need good reference. Several angles help, and we will tell you early if what you have is thin.
