Wilson & Milo | Image Guidelines

• Do

  LIGHTING. Take your photo in natural daylight or a brightly lit room for the best colour accuracy. Our artists work directly from your image, so good light means a truly lifelike result.

• Do

  CAMERA QUALITY. Use a smartphone or high-quality camera to capture sharp, clear detail. Blurry or low-resolution images limit what our artists can achieve.

• Do

  FACE + NECK VISIBLE. Make sure your pet's full face and neck are clearly in frame, free from shadows. The more our artists can see, the more detail goes into your portrait.

• Do

  NO FILTERS OR HEAVY EDITS. Avoid heavily filtered or edited photos. Our artists need to see your pet's true colours to create an accurate, lifelike piece.

• Do

  EYE LEVEL & FACING FORWARD. A photo taken directly in front of your pet at eye level works best. Other positions are absolutely fine, but your portrait will reflect exactly that pose.

• Do

  ACCESSORIES. Please note that collars, leashes, bows, hats, and accessories will not be illustrated in your final portrait.

• Don't

  ANGLED OR OVERHEAD SHOTS. Be careful not to crop out ears, especially if they're particularly pointy or floppy. Our artists can only work with what's visible in the photo.

• Don't

  LOW LIGHTING OR LYING DOWN. Heavy shadows or a pose where the head and neck aren't fully visible will limit the detail we can capture.
