  • Nina will take photos/footage/sketches of the sitters throughout the duration of the sitting.

    We are delighted to offer the opportunity to sit for a portrait whilst enjoying your film in a private cinema setting. Everyman Cinemas are generously offering their picture-house venues in support of the project, where Nina would join you to work on the portrait whilst you watch the film of your choice. Comfortable chairs and velvet sofas replace standard seating in Everyman picture-houses, allowing you to enjoy your favourite film and portrait experience in a truly special way.

    Alternatively, Nina can set up a small, transportable cinema in an agreed location. Approximately 2 square metres of floor space is required in a room which can be darkened. 1 hour is needed to set up in addition to the duration of the chosen film. Nina will work whilst the film is enjoyed in its entirety by the sitter. Portraits for any age sitter are welcomed, with the recommendation that children be 4 years upwards.

  • The drawings will be 40 x 50 cm, charcoal on paper, signed and dated on the verso. The working edges will be left for the client to decide whether to crop in framing or leave as part of the composition. (Framing is not included.)
