If you are taking photographs especially for the portrait I have given a few tips below!

Get right down to you pet's level. It can be an awkward portrait if the dog or cat is looking up or down at you.

Try to take as many as possible. The more photographs, the better.

Make sure the photographs portray the right colour of the pet's coat. Sometimes photos can alter the true colour of a subject. I recommend taking photographs in the daylight. Please try to avoid using a flash. Natural light is best.

I can combine bits of information from a few photographs. So if you have a picture with the perfect pose but it is blurry, as long as I have another photo that describes the colours and details of the subject I can put them together to complete the portrait (artistic licence!).

If you have only a few photographs which are not very good quality, but you are unable to get any more, please send them to me anyway. I may be able to use them and still get an excellent likeness.
