JAMES HAGUE PRICE GUIDE

PRICES POA

This is a rough fee-guide for a single portrait. Frame, travel & accommodation expenses, and VAT are not included. For groups and non-standard sizes please ask for a quote.

METHOD OF WORKING

I like to work from life, this usually involves making a series of drawings and photographs over 3-6 sittings which I later work from in the studio. This process varies depending on the sitter. I am happy to travel to my sitter.
