Photo Guide
Choosing a good photo
This is the most important step as it makes a BIG difference to the finished artwork.
All the examples you see on our website have been made with good quality photos.
The perfect photo would be a bright and clear headshot.
Using a phone to take the picture is absolutely fine. The background behind the pet doesn’t matter.
If after looking at the guide you are not sure your image will work well get in touch. We understand is not always possible to take more pictures.
