COMMISSION ENHANCEMENTS
Material & Operational Additions
To tailor sittings to specific environmental conditions, multi-subject compositions, or expanded physical archives, commissions may be augmented with the following material and operational additions.
I. GENERAL SITTING ENHANCEMENTS
Multi-Subject & Ensemble Staging
Base commissions are calibrated for a single primary sitter. Multi-subject compositions require expanded spatial staging, architectural lighting recalibration, and deliberate relational pacing.
Two Subjects: 1.3× base commission
Three Subjects: 1.5× base commission
Four Subjects: 1.75× base commission
Five or More Subjects: Custom ensemble proposal
Master Plates & Rights Extensions
The studio delivers authored, finished masterworks. Raw camera files, unedited digital rejects, and uncurated safety frames are never released into circulation.
Additional 4×5 Master Sheet Plate (View Camera): $150 per plate
Includes high-resolution archival master file and personal reproduction rights.
Commercial, Institutional & Press License Release: $150 per plate
Unrestricted institutional publication, annual report, editorial, and public relations licensing in perpetuity.
Additional Finished Master Plate (Personal Archival License): $85 per plate
Studio Cadence & Priority Turnaround
Extended Studio Cadence: $350 per additional 45-minute block
Available by advance reservation to support extended wardrobe variations or unfolding dialogue.
Expedited Editorial Processing (24–48 Hour Rush): 50% commission surcharge ($350 minimum).
Priority laboratory processing and master retouching queue for urgent press or publication deadlines.
Analog Emulsions & Wet-Lab Chemistry
Includes dedicated film stock, wet-lab chemical processing, archival negative sleeves, hand-cleaning, and high-resolution master flatbed/drum scans.
120 Medium Format Film Allocation: $125 per roll (6×7, 6×6, or 6×4.5)

III. SPATIAL INSTALLATION ENHANCEMENTS & BOUNDARIES
Available exclusively during contract execution. Spatial installations operate as self-contained, capacity-governed environments; ad-hoc extensions, point-of-sale setups, or on-site additions are strictly prohibited.
Extended Emulsion & Chemistry Reserve (This Instant Deployments): $650
Expands live chemistry allocation by 35 guest sittings. Includes raw emulsion stock and a dedicated darkroom assistant to maintain uninterrupted optical throughput. Must be reserved at least 14 days prior to activation.
Environmental & Spatial Site Study (The Long View & This Instant): $600
Pre-assembly architectural and atmospheric documentation of the installation footprint, lighting environment, and physical venue. Includes 8 finished master spatial plates with unrestricted institutional and press rights.
Master Emulsion Digital Archive (This Instant Deployments): $450
Live flatbed digital capture suite documenting the raw chemical borders, emulsion transfers, and surface grain of all guest artifacts created on-site. Delivered as a high-resolution press kit for host leadership.
Additional Studio Index Edition Box Set (The Long View Deployments): $350 per set
Duplicate presentation folio housing physical proof prints of all finished works on heavy cotton rag, bound as presentation gifts for gala chairs, lead patrons, or permanent institutional archives.
Standards of Spatial Deployment & Field Practice
Fixed Temporal Cadence: Deployments conclude strictly at their contracted duration to protect chemical thresholds, lighting precision, and artistic focus.
Capacity Thresholds: Live analog chemistry and view-camera throughput are governed by hard physical limits. Hourly throughput is capped during planning to guarantee unhurried spatial dignity for every sitter.
Institutional Generosity: The studio operates exclusively under formal commission. Consumer transactions or print sales are never conducted on-site—ensuring the build remains an uncompromised gift of presence to your community.
