Private Commission

The best photographs in the world were never for sale.
They were made for someone — a collector, a patron,
a person with the means to say: make something that exists only for me.
This is not a product.
It is a record.
OnlyLewds Private Commission is a direct engagement between you and the studio. You define the subject. We handle everything else — model, creative direction, location, production, post. The result is a fine art boudoir shoot produced at the level of a luxury editorial, delivered as a numbered limited-edition photobook in one to three copies total.
The archive keeps one. You keep the rest. That is the entire print run.
One slot per month. This is not a marketing constraint — it is a production constraint. One session per month is the ceiling for the level of work we do.

What collectors ask.
Depends on the tier. The Session delivers 200 images, 16 Polaroids, and one handbound photobook. The Collector adds location of your choice, three numbered copies, and digital master files. The Archive is one copy — yours — with the option to destroy the record entirely.
The $5,000 hold is charged at checkout. It secures your slot for the month and opens the creative brief process. It is applied toward your total commission — not an additional fee. Once scope is agreed, we invoice the remaining balance. Full payment is required before any production begins. No shoot happens without it.
Cancellation before the shoot is scheduled: a $2,500 cancellation fee is retained and the remaining $2,500 of your hold is refunded. Cancellation after the shoot date has been confirmed: the full $5,000 hold is forfeited. This covers model scheduling, location holds, and production preparation that cannot be recovered. We take one session per month seriously — so should you.
Both. Physical deliverables ship to you. Digital files are transferred via secure link within your production window.
After your order is placed, our team presents available model options for your dates. Final selection is made during the creative brief conversation.
Available on request for The Session and The Collector. Standard for The Archive.
From shoot date to delivery. Post-production, retouching, and printing are included. Rush timelines are available at a premium — ask during your brief.
The Session is studio-based. The Collector and The Archive include location of your choice, subject to logistics and availability.

Yes. One session per month is the ceiling for the level of work we do. This is a production constraint, not a marketing one.
