Pet Photograph Information

To make it the best possible art work I can create, I will need several good clear photographs to get a feel for the character and personality of your pet. Some close-up shots and some whole body poses should be provided. If possible, use natural daylight near a window or indirect light outside with the sun behind you. If the animals are not used to being outside, flash is OK, but be aware that the natural color of the fur and eyes will not be totally correct.  Also different surroundings and changing light will influence the color of the fur. Before you send me the photos check the coloration and tell me which one you think has the truest color.  Photos are best shot from the pet’s eye level, but sometimes an unusual angle is interesting too. It will be easier if you have someone to help distract the animal with a toy or treat. If you wish me to combine single shots into a group portrait, or if your beloved pet is no longer with you and all you have left are a few snaphots, I will have to see the photos first to determine if they are suitable for the artwork.
