Life-Size Fine-Art Portraits

A Life Size portrait is one of the most dramatic and meaningful pieces of artwork we create. Designed to mirror real human scale, these portraits become a statement piece in your home - bold, emotive and beautifully refined.

Created with master studio lighting, guided posing and museum-grade craftsmanship, each Life Size portrait is an heirloom intended to be passed down for generations.

What Is a Life Size Portrait?

A Life Size portrait is a fine-art piece produced at a scale that reflects the true height or presence of the subject being photographed. Instead of a traditional print, Life Size artwork becomes a statement, a full wall moment where a centerpiece that transforms a room.

Depending on the artwork chosen, this may include:

  • ¾ length portraits

  • Full-length portraits

  • Multi-subject compositions

  • Individual fine-art statements

Whether it's a dramatic individual portrait, a powerful couple’s piece or an elegant family moment, these artworks are designed to feel immersive and gallery-worthy.

Life Size portraits are available in 30”x40” or bigger

Your designer will help you choose the perfect size based on your wall space, interior design style and the intended focus of the artwork.

Available finishes include:

  • Classic Finish

  • Museum Finish

  • Framed or unframed options

Every art piece is custom and handcrafted using archival materials to ensure beauty and longevity.

The Power of Life-Size Artwork

There’s a reason the world’s most iconic portraits - from the quiet presence of the Mona Lisa to the monumental works displayed in the great museums of Europe - feel so captivating. When a subject is presented at or near human scale, the artwork takes on a magnetic presence of its own. It becomes more than an image; it becomes an encounter.

This same principle guides our Life Size work. A life-size portrait of your family, child or loved one carries an emotional weight that smaller artwork simply cannot achieve - the feeling that they are right there with you. It’s immersive, timeless and deeply moving, transforming a single captured moment into a legacy piece worthy of your home.
