FOUNDER’S LEGACY RESIDENCY
The Founder’s Legacy Residency is the flagship commission framework within the ASIP ecosystem. It is the exclusive vehicle through which Lifestyle Legacy Portraits are created for a limited number of families each year. Designed for founders, patrons, and family offices, the Residency moves portraiture away from transactional service into an intimate, unhurried 2-to-3-hour observational session conducted in a private location of meaning to the family.
Two collections are available:
Founder’s Legacy Residency – Editorial ($14,500 USD) Founder’s Legacy Residency – Heritage ($19,500 USD)
Both collections begin with the same disciplined session and curation process. The difference lies in the physical presentation and the number of final images the family receives.
Philosophical Provenance
Rooted in a philosophy of mutual gratitude and quiet authority, the Founder’s Legacy Residency treats each commission as a deliberate act of legacy preservation rather than a photographic service.
The intentional limit on the number of final images (10 in Editorial, up to 24 in Heritage) honours the art of curation. Every selected frame is required to carry singular historical weight.
The process is punctuated by an unhurried mid-session intermission and concludes with a carefully considered physical presentation, transforming the work into a lasting ritual of family record.
