Photo Reference Criteria

The Best Photos

The better quality your photo is, the better the portrait will be! Please refer to the photos below for examples.

Good Indoor Lighting

With great indoor lighting, I am able to see every detail of your pet!

Good Outdoor Lighting

Natural Lighting is the best kind!  


Not the Best Photos

Take a look at these photos as a guide! These types of photos are very difficult to work with. Remember, the quality of the portrait depends on the quality of the photo.

Blurry

This does not allow me to make your portrait detailed. Each mark or every hair is considered when I am drawing your pet! 

Far Away

When your pet is too far in the background, I cannot see every detail I need to! This includes zooming in or cropping this same photo to make the pet appear bigger.

Bad Lighting

With bad lighting, I cannot tell what color your pet is! You will end up with a portrait of your pet in a different color than he/she truly is.

Lighting from Behind

Light coming from behind your pet creates shadows  on him/her. This makes it difficult to create details and know the right colors for the shadowed parts.

Have a question about your photo? I will be happy to help!
