Portrait Commissions
Institutional Portraits
Institutional portraits preserve leadership history, tradition, and lasting legacy.
For academic, religious, and nonprofit institutions, a commissioned portrait marks the tenure of a president, dean, or benefactor and joins a continuing series.
The Service maintains the standard across successive commissions so a collection assembled over decades reads as one body of work.
What to prepare
Preparing your photographs.
- Photographs
- Several clear photographs of each subject, in good light, from the front and at a slight angle.
- Placement
- Where the portrait will hang, and whether the setting is formal or informal.
- Attire & tone
- Any preference for attire, background, and the character of the portrait.
