Photo Requirements for your
Pet Portrait Art
I will need a good photo of
your pet. It can be a 4 X 6 or larger.
I can only paint a portrait as good as the
photo. Please check information
below
about the photo quality. |
|
Photo Requirements: I can only paint a portrait as good as the photo. If the photo is blurry, out of focus, or too small, I cannot see what I have to paint. Below is information and samples of the type of photos needed to get the perfect portrait. If you have questions please feel free to phone or email me for more information. Keep scrolling down this page. |

FOCUS / CLARITY Even though this is a smaller photo (above) of the face, the cats face is definitely clearer. Note the clarity of the eyes, nose and fur detail. GOOD |
BAD / OUT OF FOCUS PHOTO This photo (above) is actually a better close up portrait photo, but due to the lack of focus, it is not a good photo to paint from. BAD |

BAD |
| I have cropped and enlarged the eye section of the (above) photo. Compare the clarity of the eyes to the other photo. The nose area is still detailed and the fur pattern is still evident. MORE BELOW | Note the lack of detail in eyes and nose of (above) photo. Both of these photo were scanned at the same resolution. MORE BELOW |

COMPOSITION
/CLOSENESS
In this photo the kitten 'fills the photo' size over half. The photo is also taken at the 'same level' as the kitten. GOOD |
In this photo the kitten is a very small percentage of the photo. The photo is taken as an 'overhead' view of the kitten. This can cause distortions and is not a very pleasing angle for a painting. BAD |
