Shortly after lockdown began in 2020, I started conducting portrait sessions with remote subjects over FaceTime and Zoom. I dubbed these sessions Remotraits.

Because the resolution of a virtual video feed is so poor (and a subject’s lighting conditions often worse), I had to get creative with practical effects in order to produce interesting, or even usable, remote portraits. I employed a range of techniques such as projecting the video feed on or through various materials, printing out images and re-shooting them in water, or using intentional camera movement, just to name a few.

Over the five years that have passed since my first Remotrait sessions, technology has improved, and so have my techniques. I’ve decided to bring back Remotraits with the intent of integrating new creative approaches and offering anyone, anywhere the chance to book a portrait session.

What You Get

Each 20-minute* Remotrait session:

• Is limited to one subject

• Allows for several techniques / looks

• Produces around 50 final edited images

*If a longer shoot is desired, please purchase additional sessions according to your needs. For example, if you want a one-hour shoot, book three 20-minute Remotrait sessions.

What to Expect

Once you complete your booking you will receive a READ ME file, which provides instructions for scheduling your session and preparing your space prior to the shoot.

A week or two after completing your Remotrait session, you will receive a Dropbox link to access your high-resolution files.
