Take photos that show your pets or family members personality and character.
My expertise lies in the interpretation and reproduction of the characteristics and personality from the animal or human, in the photo. Therefore, they are extremely important for the process and you must choose your photos carefully.
The quality of the picture is very important for the quality of the portrait. especially for an good petportrait. The eyes should be clear to see. Also details, like fur structure, muscles and veins, should be seen clearly. They give the portrait a living and natural effect.
Send me your photos by mail or e-mail. Send developed photos by mail only. In your own interest it´s recommended to use copies. They can easily be made in every copy-shop.
Please don´t send digital pictures printed on paper. Let me get the pictures in high resolution by e-mail or on a CD as jpeg-file.
You get your photos back when the artwork is finished. If the quality is insufficient, I send it back for free.
