Useful answers

Pet Portraits from Photos FAQs

How much does a commissioned pet portrait cost?

The artist, medium, size, number of animals, background and framing affect price. A defined budget helps narrow the options.

What photographs are best for a pet portrait?

Use sharp, well lit images taken near eye level where the face, colouring and expression are clear. Several references are better than one poor image.
