Frequently asked questions
Technique, skin and placement differ for every person. Steven will advise you personally.
Which photograph works for a portrait?+
Use a sharp, well-lit photograph in which the eyes, fur and defining shapes are clearly visible.
Can several animals be combined?+
Yes. With multiple portraits, enough space is important to keep every animal recognisable.
Can an animal portrait be in colour or black and grey?+
Both work. The best choice depends on the source image, desired atmosphere and placement.
