    Commissioned Abstract Picture

    I received a commission a few weeks back to create an abstract picture for a hairdresser in Woking, Surrey.
    I did an abstract for a shop last year and the people who set up this shop in Woking really liked it and asked if I’d do one for them in the same style.

    The brief was that they wanted an image of the shop to be manipulated into an abstract image, but still recognisable. They also wanted it in bright bright colours to stand out against the stark white walls of the shop.

    I spent about an hour taking the shots of the shop (night time) and had to use a couple of strobes to throw light across the sign in order to make the sign stand out.

    Once post production was complete I did a selection of 18 images which the client shorlisted to 3 possibles.
    3 sample prints were made and the final picked

    I printed the picture last week on my Epson 9880 and left it to dry for a few days.
    It measures in at 64″x36″ printed and 60″x32″ once on the frame

    Once dried it was mounted on a gallery wrap frame and is now waiting for the client to pick up.

    Here’s the image:

    Bert Stephani Workshop to take place in Richmond RACC

    I visited a couple of locations for the workshop and one was booked 🙂

    The venue for Day 1 will be held in the heart of Richmond in the Parkshot Richmond Adult Community College (RACC) building which is about 2 minutes walk from Richmond station and is also easily accessible by road, tube and bus.

    We will have pretty much the run of the college, but we’ll be based in 1 room and we can use the corridors and the gardens if required (depends on what Bert wants to do)

    The second day we’ll be exploring different locations in a walking distance in and around Richmond.

    On both days the workshop we will gather at 09:30, start at 10:00 and aim to finish at around 18:00
    Directions, other information and forms will be emailed to each participant prior to the Workshop

    Final location to be booked. We’ll update the main Event Page if there is more information
