First, and foremost, I'm a surrealist, and these fetish portraits are an extended hobby, but if there is enough interest or requests, I may go commercial. The way I work, currently, is I design the portrait based on what I know or see in the model's personal interests or life story and draw a rough sketch. Then I hire a photographer to create the hi-res stills against a backdrop, at my direction. Then I use a combination of 3D CGI and photoshop to create the surrealist imagery in final form.
