TAKEN FROM ABOVE
Avoid aerial photos of the pet looking up. Take photos at their eye-level.
HARSH LIGHTING
Try to avoid harsh shadows or overly bright photos. Avoid windows and lighting from behind the pet.
TOO FAR
Make sure the photo is close enough of your pet to show all their facial details.
FILTERED
Filters destroy photo quality, details, and true colouring. Best to go “au naturale”!
CROPPING
Make sure the entire face, chin, and ears are within frame if you want them in the portrait.
OBSTRUCTION
Fences, hands, snow/dirt, pillows, blankets etc. should not obstruct view of the pet's face.
