Founded and operated by Ms. Dina Waxman, The Bespoke Tableau is a fine-art portrait company that creates living heirlooms through cinematic, narrative-driven photography.
The Bespoke Tableau differs from traditional portrait photography by creating carefully planned, in-home tableaux that blend pre-production planning, an on-site cinematic shoot, and detailed post-production compositing to produce a singular work of art intended for display.
Respect for individuality is central to Ms. Waxman’s work. Rather than offering a standard or cookie-cutter photography experience, she honors the distinct personality, dynamics, and identity of each family or individual. Her portraits are designed to reflect who her clients truly are, creating artwork that feels personal, meaningful, and genuine.
Ms. Waxman brings more than 30 years of film production experience and extensive expertise in lighting, composition, and directing. She approaches every portrait with a deep passion for fine art and creative expression. Her motivation is rooted in capturing authentic moments and the true essence of each subject. She values the shared experience of portrait creation and the importance of preserving unique human stories for generations.
With this endeavor, Ms. Dina Waxman seeks to elevate the photo portrait into a timeless work of fine art. Her mission is to create intimate, narrative tableaux that honor personal legacy and reveal the truth and beauty of her subjects.
