If you have a photo to send, Great!

If you need to take a photo, check out my tips below on getting the best photo for your art.

Photo resolution

Photo is best high-res (2Mb & up).

Send original and not one from your Facebook album. If you don’t have the original, send what you have and I’ll let you know if there are concerns.

If you plan to take a new photo, please review the tips below to ensure the best artistic results.

Original Photo

After Uploading to Facebook

Start with good lighting

Photography is about lighting. Use outdoor lighting or good indoor lighting. Don’t use flash, it doesn’t give enough shape and shadow for a good drawing.

Bad Lighting:
with a Flash

Good Lighting:
indoor lighting

Better Lighting:
in complete shade

Great Lighting:
beside a window

The photo's background

Don’t worry about the background, I just draw what matters.

Composition

If you’re taking a new photo, experiment with a variety of shots, then send a few, one may work better as artwork.

Getting Ideas

Need ideas? Use Google Images and search for inspiration. Maybe your son plays baseball or your daughter takes riding lessons – use posing ideas from the internet! And you don’t need to get an action shot from a game, just pose your subject in your living room and pretend.

Portrait Ideas

If you need ideas on posing for a drawing, borrow from the pros. Type “SNL guest photos” in Google Images, Saturday Night Live photographers take fabulous guest photos, awesome inspiration for unique poses.

It's Easy

Email your photo and I send art ready to hang or frame! I want you to get artwork to cherish, so if you have any questions or just want to talk art, please call.
