Drawing on the traditions of the 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when painters like John Singer Sargent and Giovanni Boldini were regularly called upon by members of society to create portraits of high artistic merit and beauty, Sumner approaches all commissions with the standard and passion he employs as an artist. All images are created with an 8x10 view camera then printed in silver and toned in gold. The result is a collection of black and white images of unrivaled beauty and quality, cherished objects that will be with the sitter and his or her heirs for generations to come. All commissions reflect Sumner's commitment to fine art, craft, and tradition and seek to capture the unique connection with the subject only attainable through these time-tested processes.
