Richard Greenly Photography will be visiting Eton as usual during 2012 to take photographs for Portraits and Cut Outs. There will be three visits in the Lent Half, ideal for new boys and all other years and five visits in the Summer Half aimed mainly at leavers but all other years are welcome too.
These photographic sessions take place in a studio setting in the Luxmoores Room on selected days between 4.30 and 7.15 pm. Sittings will take approximately 10-12 minutes per boy. During the sitting we will take a series of full-length, three quarter length and head and shoulders photographs.
Within two weeks of the sitting we will display a set of at least 15 proof photographs on our website for viewing and ordering. You can order individual Portraits and Cut Outs or opt for one of our discounted packages which include the offer of free prints.
Cut Outs are normally in black and white and stand approximately 7 inches high on a small black oak plinth with a baize base. If you would like a different size than the standard, please tell us. (Our photographs are magic but we are not and I am afraid to say we do not know that Archie is now taller than Freddie was 3 years ago when we last took his photo!!!)
The cost of sittings at Eton to include photography, proofs, postage, packing and VAT is as follows:

If you would like your Son or Sons to be included in one of the photographic sessions in either the Lent or Summer half of 2012, please complete and return a booking form per boy to this office, by no later than the end of the third week of the appropriate half.
To ensure Housemasters are in no way burdened by the administration of this activity, please ensure that all bookings and financial arrangements are made direct with this office.
Once bookings are made we will send a letter to each boy containing the necessary instructions to ensure he knows when and where the sitting will take place. We totally understand that there are many calls on a boy's time at Eton and if he is unable to make the appointment offered, he should let us know at least 12 hours before the sitting and we will offer him an alternative.
This brochure and booking form will not be sent out again until November 2012 for sittings in 2013. Please therefore act now if you wish your son to be photographed at Eton by Richard Greenly during 2012. Please do it now and then it's done! Last year quite a few leavers missed out because they left it too late.
From the results of your sitting at Eton we can produce a vast range of different and interesting products. With your proofs you will find our full photography brochure together with a comprehensive order form outlining all our products and offers.

Brothers
If two or more brothers are having individual sittings, we are very happy to take a set of photographs of them together and these joint photographs are taken free of charge.
Pop
I am very happy to take a group photograph of some or all members of Pop each year and the result can either be used as a Cut Out or group portrait. One member of Pop should organize the sitting with us, which will be free of charge. A set of proofs and order forms will be displayed on the internet for viewing and ordering.
Friends
If a boy is having a sitting and if as part of that sitting he would like a couple of photographs with some of his friends (maximum 4), we are happy to do this at no extra charge within his individual sitting.
Cut Outs
A Cut Out is made by mounting a photograph on a piece of 3mm thick wood then very carefully cutting around the outline of the photo and mounting the resulting statuette on a small plinth with a baize base. This process is ideal for full-length subjects, especially those in school uniform or sports clothes.
Full Portrait sittings
These sittings are for the parents who want more choice and quality than we are able offer in a 10-12 minute Standard Eton sitting. Sittings take approximately 90 minutes and produce a minimum of 60 good portrait photographs. These photographs can be taken in up to 3 different orders of dress and will be in black and white and colour.
We will include the full standard sitting in a studio environment and then follow it with a series of photos around the College at locations of your choice. The Sitting fee is £375.00 inclusive VAT which includes some free prints. All full sittings are taken by Richard Greenly personally.
Please call the office to make this booking or simply tick the appropriate box at the bottom of the booking form and we will get in touch. At the time of booking please let us know of any locations that you are particularly keen on.
Framing
We have our own framing workshops here and can cover all your framing needs. To see a complete range of the frames available please go to www.locketts.co.uk.
Best wishes
P.S. There are two photographers doing private portrait sittings at Eton, Raymond Thatcher from Maidenhead and myself. Please make clear to your son, which photographer you have booked as in the past there has been some misunderstanding!!!
