Father’s Day, birthdays, Christmas
For Dad, for Grandpa: the gift that leaves him speechless.
He never asks for anything: give him all of you, on one print.
The idea
What we never quite manage to tell him face to face
For him, we always end up buying the same things: a tie, a bottle, a gadget that promises to please every time. He says thank you, he puts it away, and everyone knows we missed the mark.
What you are looking for is not one more object: it is a way of telling him that the family he built is here, and thriving. A painting made from your photos (his children, his grandchildren, sometimes his own father) says it without long speeches. Just like him.
A portrait of his children, where no one expects it
Fathers and grandfathers receive the most interchangeable gifts: ties, gadgets, tasting boxes. A painting where his children and grandchildren look back at him from the living-room wall plays in another league, it is a gift no one has ever given him, and he never saw it coming.
The Family Portrait composes this painting from separate photos: one photo per person is enough, even taken years apart. You choose one of eight painterly styles (old-master painting, watercolour, pastel), the preview appears right away, free of charge, and you only pay if the likeness convinces you. Up to five people can appear on the same portrait.
Reviving the photo of his father: transmission between men
Photo Restoration starts from a print that already exists: his father in uniform, his parents in front of the house, his own wedding. It gives it back its colours, its sharpness and its faces, then turns it into a framed artwork ready to hang. Giving a man the photo of his father brought back to light is telling him you know where he comes from, few gifts reach that far.
The family photograph that could never be taken
The Realistic Portrait is composed by hand by the studio, like a photograph life never allowed: all the siblings together, the son who settled abroad, sometimes the one who is no longer here. Here, you order first: the preview reaches you by email within 24 to 48 hours, two revisions are included, and nothing is printed without your approval, you are refunded as long as printing has not started.

Choosing well
Choosing well, without second-guessing
Four simple pointers to be sure of your choice, and of his moved silence when the day comes.
Which size for which room?
In his office or workshop, the framed 30 × 40 cm (€79) fits in effortlessly. Above the armchair or the living-room sideboard, the 40 × 50 cm (€99) is the most popular size. On a large wall, the 50 × 70 cm (€125) makes the painting command the room. And the 20 × 25 cm canvas at €39.90 sits nicely on a shelf or a corner of his desk.
Which photos work best?
A sharp, well-lit face, seen from the front and large enough in the frame. The photos can come from different eras and cameras: yesterday’s portrait of the grandchildren can sit alongside a photo of him from thirty years ago. Just avoid sunglasses, strong profiles and backlit shots.
How far ahead should you order?
Ten days or so ahead is enough for an instant portrait: the preview appears right away, then allow 4 to 7 working days for production and delivery. For a Realistic Portrait composed by the studio, aim for two weeks: the preview arrives by email within 24 to 48 hours, with two revisions included.
Revive a photo, or create a new one?
If he treasures a print, his wedding, his parents, his military service (Photo Restoration gives it back its colours and sharpness. If the photo you would like to give him does not exist) everyone together, at last, the Family Portrait or the Realistic Portrait compose it from separate photos.
