To create your design we will need several good quality photos of your animal(s). The quality of your final design will be impacted by the quality of your photos. Below you will find some tips and guidelines on how to make sure your photos are suitable.

• Use a high quality camera such as a DSLR or system camera. While we may be able to use photos made with a mobile phone camera these are usually of lesser quality.
• Get down to your animal's level. Depending on the size of your animal you may have to crouch down or lie on the floor to shoot the pictures at eye level.
• Use natural light. Take, or pick existing photos that were taken outside in daylight rather than inside the house, however avoid direct sunlight which can cause harsh highlights and shadows. A cloudy day, early mornings or late afternoons are usually the most suitable times for an outdoor photoshoot as the light is 'softer'.
• For close up head shots, make sure the animal is looking straight ahead on eye level, they should not be facing down or upwards. The whole head and neck should be visible.
• For full body shots, make sure the whole animal is visible and that there is nothing in front of the animal covering part of the animal's body, with the exception of a collar or leash (these can usually be removed). It is best if the animal is standing on a flat surface (such as pavement, asphalt, shortly cut grass). Tall grass, water, snow etc. will cover the feet, and other surfaces such as rocks could make the animal stand uneven.
• When you upload or email us photos, please send us the original files that came directly from the camera. Photos that have been uploaded to Facebook will have been compressed reducing the quality.
