Here are a few tips (supplied by my husband, who is a professional photographer) on how take the best possible photos.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use good quality natural light if possible. Outdoors in a park or garden is a good option. Cloudy bright conditions are ideal, easier to manage than bright sunlight which can produce harsh unflattering shadows especially if the colour of your pet is black.<br \/>\nPictures taken indoors can work well if there is sufficient natural light. Get your pet to sit or lie where there is good window light ideally from the front and slightly to one side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>High end smartphones have great cameras in them these days but most have a fixed wide-angle lens which if used too close will tend to distort your pet\u2019s features, making the nose and head too large in relation to the rest of its body. Use the zoom function on the phone\u2019s camera, if it has one, to allow you to move back and get a more balanced perspective. Better still use a separate camera with a portrait or telephoto lens. Just be aware that if you use a flash if will alter the natural colours of their coat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Use treats or a favourite toy, holding it slightly up and away from you to get him\/her to look up with a bright, alert expression. So, do send additional shots you&#8217;ve taken, for example: playing, sleeping, being cute or not! as, if I haven&#8217;t already met them, this will help me portray them more accurately.\u00a0 Taking it at eye level with a dog, for example will give you a good head and shoulders shot. Choose photos that show a typical pose and expression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need any extra help or would like to arrange a photo sitting please call or message (+44 7512 524769) &#8230;I\u2019ll be happy to discuss any aspect with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chance to have your pet portrayed in watercolours.\u00a0 Using good quality eg:\u00a0 Windsor &amp; Newton, Daler, Rowney 300gsm watercolour paper and paints, your picture will not fade unless hung in direct sunlight.
