Photo Hints

 

Choose a photo that you really love and one that shows a typical pose of your pet. If you look at the photo and say to yourself "ahhh, that's Ben, Max" etc, then that's the one to use! Photos taken outside are usually better than those taken inside as the natural light will show the true colours of your pet. Don't worry if you only have indoor photos. As long as you've taken a lovely clear photo then I should be able to use that. If the photo has red or cloudy eyes from the flash, but are otherwise good photos then I can still use those. Please try to supply another photo which does show their eye colour though. Don't worry about what's in the background of the photo as I make up my own backgrounds. So concentrate on how your pet looks in the photo rather than where he/she is. You need to be able to see good detail in the photo so make sure your pet isn't too far away from you. If in doubt send me your photos and I will let you know if they are suitable for me to work from. I know how precious photos can be so I will look after them for you and I always return them.
