Photo Guide
Photo Requirements
One of the most critical aspects of getting a commission of true likeness is having a good reference. To ensure the photo is of good quality it would ideally be taken in natural light, face on, and at eye level. A good photograph makes a far better portrait! It is best taken on a digital camera however phone cameras are also good.
A drawing of a pet is one of a kind gift for all occasions! A good quality photograph is required to achieve a proper likeness. It is important for me to get the personality and the character of your portrait so sending me multiple pictures always helps.

Pets that have passed away
If you're looking for a portrait of a pet that has sadly passed away and only have limited photos available, we can look through them together to decide which images will be best to use.
Photography Service
If you live locally to Cardiff, I offer a photography service for just £50 per pet. This allows me to work with the best possible images to draw from to produce your portrait. Once I have taken the photos you will have digital copies of them to keep as well as physical prints to purchase. Please contact me for details.
