‘The Photoautomat’
custom portrait illustrations!
A custom illustration based on a photo of your face. You’ll be sent the original A6 mixed media piece. Unfortunately, not passport-approved (yet).
How it works
Please send a clear photo of each person’s face. The photo should be clear and include the entire head/hairline. Ideally, the person should be facing the camera face-on.
I can include pets!
After adding to your cart, please fill out the form below OR email me with your reference information so I can get started.
When adding to the cart, please select either ‘single’ or ‘double’ based on the number of heads in the portrait (there can be a maximum of 2 heads in 1 drawing; each pet counts as a head).
Please allow 1-2 weeks from sending your reference photo for your picture to be finished and put in the post. If you need it sooner, let me know if you have a specific date you’d like the portrait for (like a birthday or anniversary) and I will do my best to meet your deadline. I cannot control delivery times once I’ve handed your parcel to the mail carrier.
Want a custom portrait without queuing up at an in-person event? Using the power of the internet, I can take orders for solo/double portraits online.

Inspired by the cool vintage photo booths all over Berlin, and so many rad illustrators live-drawing/ ‘human photobooth’-ing at events and festivals
Hire me for your event!
“We invited Katie and her Photoautomat to our January Spring Showcase Press Event, and it was a huge hit. Our guests were amazed by Katie's talent for capturing them in sketches—such a unique touch that added fun, magic, and artistry.”
Sophie - Senior Event Manager @ LUSH
Birthday, wedding, work event, whatever! Me and my photoautomat can be there to capture your guests and leave them with a custom souvenir. Please fill out the form below and I’ll be in touch with more info
Good to know
When drawing live, I try to take approximately 5 minutes for each person. Sometimes this is quicker, sometimes slower!
Drawings are made on A6 heavy recycled paper. I can also add a custom logo/doodle or info in black and white to the back (so they’ll always remember who had the coolest wedding favours)
As these are quite small, I suggest no more than 2 people in one image
Yes, I can draw pets, too!
