Item Description

Kramer Portraits is known nationally for their formal style of elegant portraiture that is reminiscent of the old master painters, such as Gainsborough, Rembrandt, and Sargent.

A Kramer Portrait combines the realism of a photograph and the distinct richness of an oil painting. Each portrait is hand finished with oils and acrylics to design a piece of original art. The techniques of timeless expression and posing create an unmistakable look that is recognized as a “Kramer”. Each Kramer Portrait Artist has been meticulously trained until becoming a master of the technique created by Steven Kramer who holds the Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsmen degrees, awarded by the Professional Photographers of America. Less than one percent of all professional photographers have achieved this level of accomplishment.
