Photo Reference Guide
Choosing the Best Photo for Your Pet’s Portrait: A Quick Guide
Getting the perfect portrait of your beloved pet starts with choosing the right reference photo! Here’s how to pick a great one:
1. Use High-Resolution Photos
-
Clear, high-resolution photos help capture every detail of your pet’s features. Blurry or pixelated images make it difficult to create a lifelike portrait.
2. Capture Natural Lighting
-
Photos taken in natural light (outdoors or by a window) help show the true color of your pet’s fur and eyes without harsh shadows or artificial color tints.
3. Focus on the Face
-
Close-up shots that focus on your pet's face, especially the eyes, bring out their personality. Make sure both eyes are visible, and avoid extreme angles.
4. Avoid Overhead or Tilted Angles
-
Photos taken at eye level with your pet provide a natural and flattering view. Try to avoid shots from above or angles that distort their features.
5. Capture Unique Expressions
-
If possible, use photos where your pet looks alert and engaged. A slight head tilt, relaxed pose, or a happy expression helps bring personality to the portrait.
6. Consider Multiple Photos
-
Often times, it helps to provide more than one photo. A close-up for details, a full-body shot. I personally like to have three or more photos to choose from.
By following these tips, you’ll ensure a beautiful, true-to-life portrait that celebrates your pet perfectly!
