Photo Requirements

Filling the frame

It is best to take the photographs as close up as possible and to fill the viewfinder. Also, if you have a favourite pose that you can capture, then that’s even better at helping to create a portrait that is truly typical
of your pet.

Lighting

Natural light is always best rather than using a flash. This can easily be achieved by being outside or by a window. Also remember to face away from the sun to avoid making your pet squint. If you have to take your photo indoors, then choose a light room near the window. Try to avoid using the flash, as this will cause red eye in your photo and could bleach out the natural colours of your pet.

Camera Positioning

Most important – the best position to take the photo is to be at the same level as the pet. Photos pointing down can look odd and unnatural. If necessary lie down to make sure you are at eye level.
