Becky Mayhew is a writer, playwright and creative writing tutor who won the 2024 Arts Richmond New Plays Festival and has had multiple short stories published. She came in for a set of seated author portraits she could use across her writing life.

For her Novel Author Portrait Package we worked in studio with three painted canvas backdrops, in green, ochre and a light pink, all seated. The three colours give Becky genuine variety from one session, a warmer option, a richer one and a softer one, so she can match the portrait to the platform, whether that is a theatre programme, a writing workshop listing or her own website.

For playwrights and writers who wear several hats, a small, varied set of portraits is far more useful than a single photo. If you need author portraits with options, take a look at the author portrait page.
