BEST REFERENCE PHOTO TIPS - Mobile photos are perfectly fine
Please upload min 1–2 photos for each pet which are possibly:
1. In focus: key features - especially the eyes - should be crisp and clearly visible to capture the pet’s expression and personality.
2. Natural looking: use natural light not artificial light, when possible. Flash works well with white pencil on black paper portraits, if details are crisp.
3. Properly Contrasted: avoid photos that are too dark or washed out. Balanced lighting reveals those details I need to create a strong likeness.
4. Clearly visible: no filters, no strong shadows, and no objects blocking your pet’s face or body.
For pet memorials, send me what you have. I will be able to help you anyway.
