Working Photo Requirements
I will need a high resolution photo to reference. Typically,
this will be a 1 mb or higher .jpg/.jpeg image, the higher the better,
taken with a full size digital camera, rather than a phone camera.
In most cases, I cannot work from a phone camera photo,
not even an iPhone. 4 megapixel & up, full size digital cameras
are normally sufficient.
The subject will need to be depicted large enough in the photo
to see detail clearly and will need to include all portions of
the subject to be included in the portrait (i.e., all ears, etc.).
The photo will also need to be in focus.
Since I will need the original file size, uncropped and unedited
photo, please do not downsize your photo as might be prompted
by your e-mail program when sending it.
If you are unsure about your photo as it pertains to this criteria,
I will likely request that you proceed with e-mailing it, so that
I can instruct you further on what is needed, which I am
more than happy to do!
Important!
I will need written consent to use professional photographers'
photos for reference. Since I publish the reference photos
I use, you can assure your photographer that he/she
will get proper name credit for the photograph on my website,
as it is supplied to me, if desired.
