What Not To Send

1. Screenshots from your phone

2. Images pulled directly from Facebook or Instagram

These types of images are usually compressed, meaning they become smaller than the original and appear grainy. Instagram photos can also be altered with filters, which makes it hard to see true color. Please do not do this!

Image Requirements

Upload your images straight from your photo album or digital camera if you have one. Sometimes it’s difficult to get high quality images, especially if your portrait is a gift and you can’t physically be with the pet, or if they are no longer with us. If you are able to take pictures of the pet, here are three things to focus on that will help you take the best pictures possible:

Lighting

Outdoor, natural lighting during the day is best. If indoors, try to take the picture near a window with the light shining on your pet’s face. This means the light has to be coming from behind you or from above. Never take a picture with a window behind your pet, as this creates the opposite effect we want (a very dark face). Lastly, be sure to turn off the flash!

Angle

The best angle for a portrait is at eye level. You want to avoid looking down at your pet to take a photo, as this creates an awkward looking angle. Crouch down and focus on the eyes!

Pose

Your pet should be in a still, seated position. I know this can be a challenge for some of our squirmy/energetic friends, but this will prevent a blurring effect from coming out in your picture.

Once your pet is sitting as calmly as possible, snap your fingers, make a noise, or call his/her name to gain attention. Another tactic is to have someone behind you with a treat, so they are looking towards the camera. Below are a few examples of the type of images I need to create a great portrait painting.
