“Marc’s New Chapter”, double page 1

Dear Marc, this morning as the city stretches in the pale light trembling at the skylight, you slowly sit at the window’s edge. Your black leather sketchbook, worn by familiar touches, slides under your fingers. On the half-filled white pages of urban silhouettes, you reread each memory with gentle concern. “Just one more page before leaving…” you whisper, letting silence settle, carried by the promise of departure.

From photo to portrait

Your faces, as they are

How it works

Four steps to a book that didn’t exist

  1. 01

    Tell us your story

    Choose the occasion and answer a few questions: the place, the moments, the words that are yours. You can also write the pages yourself.

  2. 02

    Add photos of the people

    One photo per person, up to four. Each is portrayed in the chosen style and stays true from the first to the last page.

  3. 03

    Review and correct each page

    First the text, then each illustration. Anything you’re not happy with is redone, free of charge, until the book is exactly yours.

  4. 04

    Receive the album

    The PDF is available as soon as you approve. The printed album goes into production after your confirmation and arrives within 5 to 7 business days in mainland France.
