Frequently asked questions
Selecting the perfect photo can feel overwhelming, but we are here to help. Below are frequently asked questions to guide you in choosing a reference photo that will result in a portrait you'll cherish forever. We'll explore what makes a good photo, common pitfalls to avoid, and tips for ensuring the best possible outcome.
What makes a great photo for you to create a stunning portrait?
A high resolution photo, taken outside in good lighting but not in direct sunlight, is ideal. When zooming in, hair direction and detail should be clearly visible.
What are some common issues customers have when choosing a reference photo, and how can they avoid them?
Common issues include photos taken from too far away, using artificial light, or submitting blurry photos. To avoid these issues, ensure the photo is taken in natural light, is clear and in focus, and is close enough to capture the details of your pet's features.
What are the key things customers should look for in a reference photo to ensure a beautiful final portrait?
A clear photo is essential. I understand that when a pet is no longer with us, clear updated photos may not be possible, but we can work with what you've got to create a beautiful memorial portrait.
Are there particular types of photos (e.g. close-ups, full body) that work best for your portraits?
A photo taken at the same level as the dog, that shows correct fur colouring works best. This perspective captures the pet's personality and ensures accurate colour representation.
