Photo Guidelines for the Best Pet Portrait



You don’t need a professional camera or studio setup to create a beautiful BubbaCool portrait. Most everyday photos work perfectly.

Following these simple photo guidelines will help us capture your pet’s expression and transform it into a stunning work of art.


What Makes a Good Pet Photo?


A great portrait starts with a clear, well-lit photo that shows your pet’s personality. The image above illustrates the ideal setup for the best results.

  • Good natural lighting
  • Eye-level perspective
  • Head and shoulders visible
  • Facing the camera
  • Sharp focus (not blurry)

If your pet looks good in the photo, the artwork will look great too.


Best Tips for Amazing Results


Lighting

Natural light works best. A photo taken near a window is ideal. Avoid harsh shadows, strong backlighting, or very dark rooms.


Angle & Framing

Eye-level photos create the most natural and expressive portraits. A headshot or head-and-chest frame is perfect.


Focus

Make sure your pet’s eyes are sharp and clear. A slightly blurred background is fine, but the face should be in focus.


What to Avoid

  • Blurry or low-resolution photos
  • Heavy filters or strong editing
  • Shadows covering the face
  • Photos taken from far away
  • Pets facing away from the camera

If you’re unsure, don’t worry. Most photos work better than you think.


Do These Guidelines Apply to All Art Styles?

Yes. These photo guidelines work for all BubbaCool styles, including Renaissance Aristocratic, Black & White Vogue Editorial, and Luxury Studio Portrait.

A clear photo helps us preserve your pet’s unique features, regardless of the artistic style you choose.


Photo Questions We Often Get


Do I need a professional photo?

No. Smartphone photos are more than enough to create a beautiful portrait.


Can I upload an older photo?

Yes. As long as the photo is clear and in focus, older photos work well.

We recommend uploading the photo you love most. If needed, our team can help guide you.
