Photography Tips

 

A good photograph of your pet is all that is required to create a great pet portrait that you will love and cherish for many years to come. Extra photos are also suggested as these can serve as a reference for coloring, close-up details, and personality. The higher resolution, the better image detail.

  • When taking photos of your pet, be patience! It will take some time.
  • Ask a friend to hold some treats or a toy to keep the dog focus and look at the camera.
  • Find a location with a simple background.
  • Make sure there's contrast between the background and the animal. This will help me to see your pet more clearly.
  • Use natural lighting when possible.
  • Use flash if your dog has dark or black fur.
