taking a photo Selecting the right picture(s) of your pet is important to the success of your original art pet portrait. • Use a good quality camera. Set a digital camera to the highest resolution you can. • It is important to send a picture that is in focus, without harsh shadows or bluriness. • Include a closeup of the pet's face - one shows both eyes looking at the camera is best. • Don't worry about red-eye, the artist can fix that. • Take photos in natural light, but not direct sunlight. An overcast day is best. • Be conscious of the angle your photo is taken at. Avoid pictures taken from above; crouch down if you have to and get a shot at eye level to the animal. • Use a flash, even when outside to balance shadows and brighten your pet's face.
submitting your photos • The best way to get your photos to the artist is to upload them on this website at checkout. • If for some reason uploading at checkout doesn't work, email the images to: susan@susantower.com • The snail mail address to submit photos is: 9218 Metcalf, #244, Overland Park, KS 66212 Once your photos are submitted, the artist will contact you.
