Bespoke Portrait Commission
A bespoke portrait is an invitation into Christopher Ireland’s craft. Private collectors seek him for his view shaped by decades behind the lens: exhibitions from Sydney Contemporary to the State Library, and recognition across D&AD, New York art director’s club and Cannes. Each commission is a carefully made artowrk, created with intention, restraint and feeling.
