Bentley Portraits

15/03/2026

We live in the most photographed time in human history.

Phones are full of pictures. Hard drives are full of images.

Yet almost nobody owns a portrait that truly matters.

Something worthy of the wall. Something future generations pause in front of and say:

"That was my mother."
"That was my grandmother."

Let's change that with a Bentley Portrait

This year, give something that will be cherished long after the celebration is over.

Bentley Portraits – Fine Art Gift Certificate
Limited Edition: Only 10 Available

This certificate is not a throwaway present.

It is an invitation to create something that lasts, shaped through careful lighting and a modern interpretation of the tones and stillness found in the Dutch painterly tradition.

In the studio, we will work slowly and with purpose.

Up to ninety minutes set aside to create a portrait with depth, calm, and presence.

A quiet session where expression, light and texture build something that feels meaningful and timeless.

Most gifts fade. A portrait like this becomes part of a life.
Only ten certificates exist.

If you are holding one, it is already something special.

A fine art portrait is not forgotten, it stays on a wall for years, sometimes decades.

What This Certificate Gives You
• Up to a 90 minute portrait session with John Bentley at BL6 Studios
• One 10 x 8 mounted fine art print
• Relaxed expression guidance throughout
• Voucher valid for 12 months
These certificates are available online or in person at BL6 Studios in Horwich.

At Bentley Portraits, I don’t make photographs. I create art.
Inspired by the Old Masters.

I use light the way painters once did.

Shaping depth, mood, and character into every piece. The tools may be modern, but the aim is timeless. Portraits that feel like they’ve always belonged on your wall.

Heirlooms. Statement pieces of art. Made to be seen every day, and to be passed down.

Simple, honest, and crafted with care - Bentley Portraits is about creating work that outlives us.

Each piece begins as a quiet study in light, expression, and presence.

From there, the image is transformed through weeks of artistic rendering into a finished work of fine art.

Every brushstroke, texture, and tonal shift is considered. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is mass-produced. Each commission is a one-off.

The process can take up to six weeks from first sitting to final reveal. Your finished artwork is hand-rendered on museum-grade archival canvas, ready to grace your home or gallery as a modern heirloom.

This isn’t photography as you know it.

This is a your portrait reimagined, where light meets legacy.
