Soraya Chemaly Silhouettes

According to your MySpace profile, Jenna Jameson is one of your heroes. Meanwhile, your Facebook page suggests you like to play Edward Fortyhands.

Here’s a profile you won’t have to hide from co-workers and extended family: a customized silhouette by D.C. artist Soraya Chemaly.

Chemaly starts by snapping a still, digital photo of any object (you, your dog, your man’s derriere, etc.) in front of a simple background. Next, using a blend of computer technology and honed artistic skill, she turns the image into a whimsical silhouette of two or more contrasting colors of your choice. She then prints the image on heavyweight fine art paper.

The process takes two to four weeks, and prices range anywhere from $150 to $550.

A small price to pay for your dignity.

Soraya Chemaly, 1622 Wisconsin Avenue NW, between Q Street and Reservoir Road, lower level (202-329-4616 or soraya@sorayajones.com).
