The most important part of choosing a photo is for you to choose the one that most represents your pet as you know them and want to remember them, so above all choose the one you like best, chances are, if I need to, I can do some adjustments and make the picture useable for what I need. This can be discussed at the beginning of the project.
The clarity of the photo you choose makes a difference in the final artwork. Here are some tips for choosing a good photo.
1. The photo should be clear and sharply focused.
2. Choose the picture with the most detail and best reflects your pets personality or trait you want the portrait to reflect. A close up works best.
3. Hair should be visible enough to see how it lays.
4. Choose the picture with the best eye, good color and distinction between the iris and the pupil if possible.
5. A photo that is too light and washed out is more difficult to work with than one that is darker with shadows.
It is amazing what the shadows can hide, and I can find. Check the How it works page to see an example.
