Photo Capture Guide
The more detail that is captured in your photo, the greater detail that can be added to your treasured pet’s portrait. Here’s a few helpful tips to guide you on your way to capturing the ideal reference photo.
“Show Your Pet in the Best Light”
Natural light is usually the best way to capture all the important details of your pet, but ultimately it is important that you ensure there is enough light to clearly see your pet, but not too much so as to wash out the colour or detail.
“True Colours Shining Through”
Ensure that the picture shows the true colours of your pet i.e. eyes/ fur.
“Details, Details, Details”
Can you see the detail of the fur and if applicable any distinguishing marks/ collar? Does your pet have a favourite toy that they can’t live without?
“Far, Far, Away”
I know getting your precious pets to stay in one spot can be a challenge but please ensure that they are close enough to the camera to be clearly seen.
“Personality Counts”
One of the things I love most about creating animal portraits is capturing their unique personality and immortalising it for the owner. Consider how best to capture this, sometimes action shots can work brilliantly too!
“We Can Work It Out”
It has always been said, “never work with children or animals!” If you are struggling to find or take ‘the right photo’ let’s chat. I am confident we can find a solution together so that I can create the perfect portrait for you.
