An elderly artist has asked to paint my landscape photos.
He is excellent and currently exhibiting.
I think he makes quite a few bob doing it.
He can’t make it up onto the hills, so in his words i would become his legs.
He likes to paint remote area difficult to photograph, some involve climbing.
He also happens to be a customer of mine- (a professional relationship think dentist patient, solicitor client sort of thing)
It looks like it might be a joint exhibition- “from photo to canvas” him selling the paintings and me the framed photos.
He has asked me for files of the images.
Bit of a long shot, but i know there are a few photographers on here, any one entered into this sort of relationship, done anything similar.
Anyone got any observations, advice, thoughts or words or warning?
He seems very established and genuine but i have a small ammount of free floating anxiety for some reason. I don’t want to be too pushy with him but also don’t want to be mugged.
All insights from the singletrack world orracle greatly appreciated.
thanks
