Photograph tips

Type of Photo Needed

The most important element is that the subjects are in focus. Blurry images are not suitable.
Use pictures taken in natural daylight where possible.
Take pictures at the eye-level of the subject.
Different subjects can be in different photos but it's helpful to have some photos of the subjects together.
REMEMBER - if I can't see the subject clearly then I can't draw or paint them!

How To Send Photos

I prefer to receive your pictures by email as saved files, such as JPEG, PDF, TIFF etc. The best quality that you can manage.
Contact me for help & advice if you only have prints to work from and can't scan them to a file.
I love a quirky photo which includes favourite toys, a hat or a much loved place. Be sure to mention if you hope to include something specific in your picture.
When you email me your pictures, 5-10 pictures is usually an ideal number - consider sending them in two or more emails so that downloading is easier.
