Pet Portraits
In this day and age of digital images we don’t often look at our photos on a regular basis, and they are very easy to lose when computers and phone break or need to be replaced.
I offer a pet portrait service so you have a physical image to hang and the wall and look at all the time. I work from photographs that you provide, so its important that you ar happy with the image that you upload. There are some tips on taking photos below.

Taking Photos of your Pet
You will probably have taken a lot of photos of your pet in all kinds of situations, poses and light but they may not be suitable for a portrait. The best photos are the ones where your pet looks most relaxed and captures the essence of your pet. Try to take a photo with them looking toward your left to right – not directly at you. Perhaps getting someone else to attract them may help with this. Make sure the light source is over your shoulder but not directly behind or above you. If you’re taking photos outside, avoid direct sunlight and look for a shadow.
Good resolution and lighting is also quite important. Please make sure the photos are not overexposed (lacking detail in brigthtest areas) or blurry. Take as many pictures as you can, especially of eyes, ears and nose. I will then be able to use them as a reference when I am drawing those particular parts of the face.
