We found that some clients had a mistaken idea of how Rob Hefferan creates his portraits. When you, in Manchester, commission a portrait, you will meet with the artist to discuss your ideas, budget, and time schedule, sitting schedule and clothing. Some who advertise portraits actually work from a photograph. Even the clearest and sharpest of photos is not going to capture what the artist’s eye can in person. A head and shoulders portrait has benefits because the artist has opportunity to focus on what the facial expression reveals. Such portraits can be intensely intimate revealing a complexity of emotions simultaneously. Yes, Rob Hefferan is that gifted.
