A great portrait starts with a high quality photo! Keep these five points in mind when choosing your reference.

Background

Keep in mind whether you’d like a simple background or a detailed landscape scene.

Try to avoid photos that are too bright or too dark, since important details can get lost.

Lighting

For best results, take the photos in daylight at your pet’s eye level. Aiming to clearly see the fur detail when zoomed in.

If their natural eye colour isn’t clear because of the flash, simply include the correct colour when submitting your images.

Multiple Pets

If you’re photographing more than one pet, just make sure each little face is visible and not hidden behind another.
