This isn't your parents' portrait studio. Forget glossy perfection. We document the real, the raw, the chosen families, the resistance, the quiet moments in loud lives.
Portraitariat is counter-archive, anti-exploitation image-making. We collaborate within our communities to create honest representations, rejecting manufactured narratives.
NO GODS. NO MASTERS. MAYBE SOME DECENT PHOTOS.
Built on solidarity, mutual respect, and a DIY spirit. We're here to capture *our* stories.
// SESSIONS & FAIR EXCHANGE //
Sessions are collaborative, usually on location, always respectful of your space and energy. Pricing reflects a commitment to accessibility and fair compensation for artistic labor.
- SOLIDARITY SNAPSHOT: Focused session // Essential documentation // Sliding scale based on mutual trust & need.
- SCENE DOCUMENT: Extended session // Deeper dive into your project/community // Fair fixed price.
- PERMANENT RECORD // ZINE ARCHIVE: Comprehensive collab // In-depth documentation, potential for zine layout // Higher fixed price (helps fund sliding scale).
Let's talk about what works.
// CONTACT // COLLABORATE //
