From Selfie to Masterpiece: How to Commission a Custom Portrait Online

So, you’re scrolling through your camera roll, thinking: “I don’t hate how I look here, but… it’s not art.”

Well, good news: in 2025, turning your everyday selfie into an absolute masterpiece is easier than ever. No studio, no fancy lighting, no awkward Renaissance-style posing (unless you’re into that).

Here’s how to make portrait magic happen online:

📸 1. Pick a selfie that feels like you
You don’t need perfect lighting or a model pose. Just something that captures your vibe. Whether it’s pouty, silly, or dramatically staring into the void—you do you.

💡 Bonus tip: Slight angle? Great. Eyes visible? Even better. Duck face? Surprisingly works for historical villains.

🎨 2. Choose a style that speaks to your soul
Are you feeling more “ancient Roman senator who’s definitely plotting something” or “flapper girl with a martini and a mysterious past”? At Hystoriq Portraits, we offer everything from vintage royalty to disco queens and space warlords.

💡 Tip: Browse examples to get inspired—and don’t be afraid to get weird with it.

📥 3. Upload your photo & let the magic begin
Once you pick your style, you’ll just upload your photo, add any notes (like “please make me look like I time-traveled from 1923”), and our team takes care of the rest.

💡 You don’t need to crop or retouch—our artists (and digital tools) handle that.

🖼️ 4. Get your final masterpiece
Once it’s ready, you’ll receive a high-res portrait ready to print, post, or hang right over your bed where your ex’s photo used to be. (We’re not judging.)

And yes, we offer physical prints too—because screen art is cool, but paper feels like legacy.

✨ Why Hystoriq Portraits?
We mix tech + talent to deliver unique, high-quality portraits that feel both hilarious and heroic. Our styles are inspired by real art history but always come with a twist—and a whole lot of personality.

So whether you want to impress your friends, weird out your family, or just stare lovingly at your fantasy alter ego, now’s the time.
