Photography Tips... "In all things... Attitude is Everything" When choosing the photos to send for your Portrait, it is extremely important to remember that the quality of the photos you send are the key to a realistic and true to life Portrait. Tips on taking the photos... 1.Try to get as CLOSE as possible without blurring the image. 2.Focus on the animal's face and head. 3.Take the photos OUTDOORS in good natural light, but try not to put the subject in direct sunlight or being "back lit". Instead, opt for a slightly overcast or cloudy day. 4.The best view is usually three-quarters. 5.Try to keep the background uncomplicated. 6.Take photos from several angles or different poses. 7.Get down and dirty on his/her level. Here we have Temair, a gorgeous Longcoat GSD, and his picture is an example of a perfect photo to send as reference... Remember, the clearer the picture the more detailed and more accurate your Portrait will be.
