Tips for good reference photos 

 

  • Use a high spec smart phone or a DSLR camera to capture all the details of the animal clearly.

 

  • Try to take the photo at eye level with the animal, as photos taken from above can sometimes distort their appearance & proportions.

 

  • If possible, take the photo outdoors or in natural daylight to avoid dark shadows.

 

  • Supplying multiple photos is always a good idea & helps to capture the true fur colour of your pet.

 

  • Avoid cropping the photos & send them in their original size format.  This helps maintain the resolution & detail of the image

  • Head & shoulder portraits generally look better, but feel free to choose a pose which captures your pet’s personality & character.
