Requirements for a good photo template

To ensure that your artwork will give you pleasure for a long time, I will be happy to give you tips on choosing a suitable photo template.

I paint true to detail from photo templates and only need a high-quality photo.


Camera position: The camera should be at the animal's eye level or slightly below to create a natural and harmonious perspective.

Lighting: Use soft light coming in from the side to keep shadows and contrasts soft.

Eye area: Make sure the eyes are well lit so that they appear clear and lively.

Reflections: Ideally, a subtle reflection should be visible in the eye and on the nose to give the image expression and depth.

Pose the animal: Photograph the animal sitting with its head facing the camera or turned slightly to the side to capture the best proportions and details.

Collar and leash: Remove the collar and leash if they are not wanted in the picture to achieve a natural result.

Image quality: Make sure that the photo has a high resolution and is detailed in both light and dark areas.
