Pet Portrait Image Guidelines
Providing a clear and well-lit photograph is essential to ensure you receive a high-quality portrait of your pet. The term "photo" originates from the Greek word for "light." The quality of the lighting directly impacts the quality of the resulting photograph. The following tips will help make sure you have an excellent image for us to create your Custom Pet Portrait :
Pet Photo Tips
Bright light
For better photo quality, take a new photo or select an existing photo of your pet that has been taken outdoors in direct sunlight or indoors with a bright white light of 7 000 and 10 000K.
Quality camera
Please use a professional digital camera or a recent smartphone with great photo features to get better results.
#NoFilter
Avoid the usage of filters which can give us difficulty in accurately drawing your pet's coloring.
Full face & neck
The whole face and neck should be visible to the camera with no shadows.
Pet sitting pose
The best way to capture your pet's unique personality and traits is by getting them to sit still and look at the camera while you take the photos.
Pet accessories
Please remember that your final Pet Portrait will not include accessories like a harness, collar and leash. If you want to keep any pet's accessory included in the photo submitted, please let us know in the order comment section.
