We offer ...
We offer a private and discrete service.
Axel Bernstorff and a dedicated production team are happy to present fine bespoke portraiture to private clients. We offer idiosyncratic and finely designed portraiture settings including as many or as few subjects as you please. Family, friends, horses, dogs, falcons, and all creatures! Anywhere in the world. We can arrange, produce and shoot at your beach house, or ski lodge, in your home garden, on your yacht, or at your mountain retreat. At the Epsom or Kentucky Derby, the Champions League Final, the Dubai Gold Cup or Cowes Week. We can build the perfect portrait series around your life. A location that is part of your life provides the ideal connection, though if it is preferred we can rent a location or create a studio set around your idea or vision.
As part of our bespoke and tailored service we’d like to illustrate the possibilities, and work with our clients to discover how they would like to be represented. If inspiration is needed, we can happily make suggestions and provide ideas. Perhaps Fellini or Peter Greenaway inspires, or an image from the gallery reel here. We offer a fully international service including props and clothes styling, hair and make-up, grooming, pretty much everything necessary to create a fantastic shoot environment while attaining and maintaining a realistic atmosphere.
We would be delighted to create bespoke sets and sittings for corporate entertaining, private parties, wedding celebrations, and to produce entire story collections for unique book and exhibition projects.
There is a wide range of presentation options, both printed photographs and digitally. We can make large framed print series, book or album collections, innovative light-box displays and many options in between.
