Photo guidelines

The better your photographs are the more effective our artwork will be, both in terms of your pet's character and the clarity of the image.

Please send us a few photos, any of which you’d be happy for us to select to feature on your Custom Front Cover. We can work from any photo file format.

Cropping

Be very careful not to crop off any part of your pet you want us to include (ears for example!). The more background you give us the better.

Focus

Make sure your pet is in focus, sharp not blurry or moving.

High resolution photos. Transferred direct from the device where possible. Don’t worry about large file size, in fact the bigger the better for us.

Don’t use screen grabs or images from social media, which will almost certainly not be high enough resolution to work with.

Lighting

Photos should be taken in good light with no strong shadows obscuring detail.  

Don't worry, if in doubt about a favourite photo send it to us anyway. We may be able to 'tweak' the exposure at our end, but in any case we'll let you know whether it'll be unsuitable.

Professional pet photography

If you're thinking about a professional photo shoot, we've teamed up  with many specialist pet portrait photographers who we're confident to recommend. 

Contact us and ask  for information of a professional pet portrait photographer in your area.
